Nigeria’s average daily fuel consumption declined to 48.03 million litres in June 2025, according to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
The agency reported a total fuel evacuation of 1.44 billion litres for the month, marking a 16.42% drop from May’s 1.77 billion litres.
NMDPRA’s Director of Public Affairs, George Ene-Ita, clarified that the actual daily average was 48,025,604 litres, not the previously reported 38.94 million litres. This figure was calculated by dividing the total June supply by 30 days.
Automobile Gas Oil (diesel) supply in June rose slightly by 1.73% to 432.18 million litres, compared to May’s 424.83 million litres.
However, diesel distribution dropped sharply by 23.23%, falling to 424.06 million litres from 552.35 million litres in May.
Household Kerosene (HHK) supply and distribution both fell by 13%, from nearly nine million litres in May to 7.79 million litres in June. Automotive gasoline experienced the sharpest fall, plummeting 48% in supply from 72.36 million litres to 37.66 million litres. Distribution also decreased by 16.54% during the period.
Lagos State received the highest supply at 205.66 million litres in June. Ogun followed with 88.69 million litres, the Federal Capital Territory with 77.51 million litres, and Oyo State with 72.81 million litres.
The authority pledged to collaborate with industry stakeholders to improve distribution and ensure consistent nationwide fuel availability.
In contrast to the fuel supply dip, Nigeria’s crude oil production rose to 1.507 million barrels per day in July 2025. This surpassed the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) target for the second consecutive month, as highlighted in OPEC’s latest Monthly Oil Market Report.
