\n Petrol (PMS) supply rose from 71.5 million litres\/day in November to 74.2 million litres\/day in December, while consumption averaged 63.7 million litres\/day.\n <\/p>\n
\n Cooking gas (LPG) supply averaged 5,201 metric tonnes\/day, comfortably above consumption of 4,380 metric tonnes\/day.\n <\/p>\n
\n Retail LPG prices ranged between \u20a61,120 and \u20a61,600 per kilogramme, equivalent to $0.77\u2013$1.10\/kg.\n <\/p>\n
Fuel Sufficiency Gains, Refinery Performance<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n National stock sufficiency improved significantly, with petrol reserves rising from 16.65 days in November to 29.2 days in December. Diesel sufficiency averaged 25 days, aviation fuel 20 days, and LPG 8 days.\n <\/p>\n
\n The NMDPRA noted: \u201cDays sufficiency stock was boosted by 77% between November and December 2025 due to improved supply performance by DPRP, NNPC, and OMCs.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n State-owned refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna remained shut down, though Port Harcourt evacuated residual diesel produced before May 2025.\n <\/p>\n
\n Among modular refineries, Edo Refinery led with 85.43% utilisation, followed by Waltersmith at 63.24% and Aradel at 53.89%. OPAC and Duport remained idle.\n <\/p>\n
Gas Sector Strength, Fuel Prices<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n Nigeria\u2019s domestic natural gas supply averaged 4.787 billion standard cubic feet\/day, with 2.912 Bscf\/day supplied to NLNG and 1.875 Bscf\/day to the domestic market.\n <\/p>\n
\n Gas-to-power utilisation stood at 0.586 Bscf\/day, while gas-based industries consumed 0.430 Bscf\/day.\n <\/p>\n
\n Indicative petrol pump prices in December averaged \u20a6832.31\u2013\u20a6900.49\/litre, equivalent to $0.57\u2013$0.62\/litre.\n <\/p>\n
\n Actual pump prices varied, with Lagos at \u20a6861\/litre ($0.59), Abuja at \u20a6893\/litre ($0.61), and Kano at \u20a6952.50\/litre ($0.66).\n <\/p>\n
Strategic Outlook<\/p>\n
\n The NMDPRA emphasised that the data reflects Nigeria\u2019s energy transformation: \u201cThis verified data underscores Nigeria\u2019s strategic transformation in the energy sector, emphasising reduced imports, strengthened domestic production, job creation, safety improvements, and economic stability.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n With Dangote Refinery ramping up and Waltersmith\u2019s Train 2 set to introduce hydrocarbons in January 2026, Nigeria is positioning itself for greater energy independence.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Petrol (PMS) supply rose from 71.5 million litres\/day in November to 74.2 million litres\/day in December, while consumption…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[45,49,48,46],"class_list":{"0":"post-414216","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-economy"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
