Nigeria Imports Over 1 Billion Litres of Petrol Despite Dangote's Supply Increase

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) data reveals that Nigeria imported 1.31 billion litres of petrol in December 2025, despite Dangote Refinery's significant supply increase. This import volume exceeded Dangote's daily supply, raising questions about the need for such high imports and their impact on local refining capacity.

The situation highlights the challenges faced by the country in balancing domestic production and import requirements in the oil and gas sector.
