In August, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery supplied approximately 71% of Nigeria's petrol needs, according to a recent report from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). The refinery processed about 36 million liters of petrol daily, accounting for nearly three-quarters of the country's Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) receipts.
This was a significant increase from the previous month, when domestic PMS receipts rose by 39%, reaching 35.9 million liters per day. Meanwhile, petrol imports decreased by 26%, dropping from 19.7 million liters per day to 14.6 million liters per day. As a result, domestic petrol receipts surpassed imports by 21.3 million liters per day in August.
The NMDPRA's state of the midstream and downstream sector report also noted that total PMS receipts increased by 11%, from 45.5 million liters per day in July to 50.5 million liters per day in August.
