  "summary": "Nigeria imported an average of 78,000 barrels per day of petrol between April and August, while the Dangote Petroleum Refinery exported some of its gasoline output to West African markets during favorable trading opportunities. The refinery's deliveries to West African countries reached a record 172,000 barrels per day in September, although the region still relied heavily on imports from outside the region, receiving 516,000 barrels per day of refined petroleum products from external suppliers in September. The refinery's growing role in supplying West African fuel markets was driven by increased crude receipts at the Lekki plant, surpassing previous high levels.",
