  "summary": "The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) reported that Dangote Petroleum Refinery supplied about 71% of Nigeria's petrol in August, providing around 36 million litres of petrol daily to the market. This represented a 39% increase in domestic Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) receipts from July's 25.8 million litres per day to 35.9 million litres per day. Meanwhile, PMS imports fell by 26% from 19.7 million litres per day to 14.6 million litres per day, resulting in domestic receipts exceeding imports by 21.3 million litres per day. The Dangote refinery produced an average of 41.94 million litres of PMS daily in August, with 35.87 million litres supplied domestically and the remaining 9.73 million litres exported. The refinery's average capacity utilisation was 105.21% during the month.",
