Nigeria Faces Petrol Scarcity Threat as Marketers Cite Supply Delays
A potential petrol scarcity crisis is looming in Nigeria as several fuel stations have reportedly stopped dispensing fuel due to delayed supply from Dangote Petroleum Refinery. Market sources indicate that over a million liters of premium motor spirit (PMS) have been paid for but not delivered, leading to concerns of a nationwide shortage.

The Nigerian midstream and downstream petroleum regulatory authority revealed consumption figures and highlighted challenges in the domestic distribution network.
