The supply of petrol from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery fell by 21 per cent in July 2026, while imports increased by 9 per cent, fresh data from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) showed yesterday.

The development came despite an improvement in petrol stock sufficiency during the month, with available reserves rising to 22.4 days from 19.7 days in June, even as the country remained below the regulatory minimum fuel sufficiency threshold of 30 days.
