Nigeria’s Petrol Supply Drops to 1.48 Billion Litres in June 2025 – NMDPRA Report

Nigeria’s consumption of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, fell sharply in June 2025, according to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). The authority reported that a total of 1.48 billion litres of petrol was supplied in June, marking a significant decline compared to May.

George Ene-Ita, NMDPRA’s Director of Public Affairs, revealed that the agency submitted detailed figures to the Federation Account Allocation Committee. The total evacuation for June stood at 1,440,768,129 litres, translating to a daily average of 48,025,604 litres. The drop in supply represents a 16.42% decline from the 1.77 billion litres supplied in May.

Distribution of petrol, measured in truck-out volumes, also fell dramatically by 246.66 million litres, representing a 14.62% decrease over the month. While diesel supply (Automotive Gas Oil) recorded a modest 1.73% increase to 432.18 million litres, its distribution fell by 23.23%, indicating logistical challenges in moving fuel to retail points.

Other petroleum products recorded notable declines as well. Household kerosene supply and distribution fell by 13.07%, while Aviation Turbine Kerosene suffered one of the steepest drops, with supply plunging by 47.96% and distribution by 16.54%. Low Pour Fuel Oil saw no supply or distribution in June, compared with 116,401 litres in May.

The NMDPRA emphasized that its June report provides a full breakdown of supply, distribution, monthly stock, and PMS truck-out to states. The submission is now under review by the Federation Account Allocation Committee for consideration and adoption, highlighting ongoing concerns over Nigeria’s fuel supply and distribution trends.
