Imports of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol, fell by 30 million litres between January and March, 2025.
This is according to the latest Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) supply tracker.
Briefing State House correspondents on Tuesday during the sixth edition of the Meet-the-Press briefing series organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, Farouk Ahmed, NMDPRA’s Chief executive officer, said local supply rose 670 per cent within that period.
After contributing virtually nothing in August, local plants delivered 26.2 ML/day in early April, a jump from the 3.4 ML recorded in September, the first month with measurable output.
