Nigerian Petrol Imports Surge 80% Amid Refinery Shutdowns
Nigeria's petrol imports rose by 80% in November 2025 as domestic supply of petrol surged by 37.7%. The Nigerian midstream downstream petroleum regulatory authority (NMDPRA) reported a significant increase in petrol imports to meet the nation's demand, attributing the rise to low delivery levels in September and October.
The surge in imports was driven by efforts to build inventories ahead of the festive season consumption. Additionally, four NNPC-owned refineries remain shut, with ongoing talks for potential technical partnerships to upgrade and operate the facilities.
