  "summary": "Economist Muda Yusuf has urged the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to publish the country's fuel supply gap before granting import licences to petroleum marketers. Yusuf argues that this would help revive Dangote Refinery, which has blamed the persistent issuance of petrol import licences by NMDPRA for the 43.3 percent rise in Nigeria's fuel imports. Yusuf suggests that regulatory discretion should be exercised transparently, predictably, and consistently with the country's domestic-refining and industrialisation objectives, and that NMDPRA should publish a product-by-product supply-gap determination before approving material import volumes.",
