Average daily petrol supply from domestic refineries fell by 20.6 per cent to 25.8 million litres in July 2026, from 32.5 million litres per day recorded in June, data from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has shown.

The latest figures obtained from the Authority’s monthly oil and gas data also showed that the decline in domestic supply was partly offset by increased petrol imports, which rose to 19.7 million litres per day in July from 18.1 million litres per day in June.

Combined domestic and imported petrol supply stood at an average of 45.5 million litres per day in July, representing a 10.1 per cent decline from the 50.6 million litres supplied daily in June.
