The official survey and the current market, side by side. The National Bureau of Statistics publishes kerosene prices months in arrears, so the figure it reports and the price in the market are rarely the same number — sometimes higher, sometimes lower. Both are shown here, each with its date and its source. Nothing on this page is an estimate.

Recent coverage from Nigerian outlets. Individual reports, each attributed to its source and date — not a survey, and not an average.
Nigeria's petrol consumption dropped 25% in July 2026, with daily supply falling to 25.8 million litres. Despite this, petrol stock sufficiency improved, indicating a stronger buffer against market disruptions. The decline in consumption was also noted for Aviation Turbine Kerosene.
Nairametrics
Fuel inflation in Nigeria persists with diesel prices soaring by 86.4%, petrol by 55.31%, and kerosene by 36.62% over the past year. The National Bureau of Statistics reports significant price variations across states, impacting household and business expenditures.
