Petrol imports surge 207% in June as domestic supply declines — NMDPRA
By Obas Esiedesa, Abuja Nigeria’s petrol imports surged by 207 per cent in June 2026, reversing earlier gains recorded in domestic refining as local supply declined sharply, according to data from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
The six-month data showed that Nigeria relied mainly on domestic supply between February and May, with local sources contributing more than 85 per cent of petrol supply during the period.
An analysis of the authority’s monthly petrol supply data for the first six months of 2026 showed that while domestic refineries remained the major source of supply for most of the period, imports increased significantly in June following a drop in local output.
