Nigeria’s domestic petrol supply rises in August as output from the Dangote refinery increases and fuel imports decline, according to figures published by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). The NMDPRA August factsheet shows Dangote’s premium motor spirit (PMS) receipts delivered to the domestic market reach 35.9 million litres per day.
At the same time, petrol imports fall by 26%, dropping to 14.6 million litres per day. Premium Times also reports that overall domestic refining activity increases in August, including crude oil receipts by domestic refineries rising 17% to 683,000 barrels per day. The outlet links the increased role of Dangote’s refinery to the fact that NNPC refineries remain shut, while Daily Post Nigeria focuses primarily on the supply and import figures from the NMDPRA report.
Taken together, the outlets present a picture of higher local contribution to petrol availability in August, alongside reduced import volumes and improved crude intake by domestic refineries, with differing emphasis on Dangote’s deliveries versus the broader refinery operating context.
