The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has reported a substantial decrease in fuel consumption for June 2025, with total fuel evacuation falling to 1.44 billion litres.
This marks a 16.42% decline compared to May, which saw a total of 1.77 billion litres of fuel evacuated.
Naija News reports that the Director of Public Affairs at NMDPRA, George Ene-Ita, confirmed in a report on Wednesday that daily fuel consumption averaged 48 million litres in June.
He also corrected earlier reports that suggested a lower daily average of 38.94 million litres.
According to the NMDPRA, the exact volume of fuel evacuated in June was 1,440,768,129 litres, representing a decrease of over 290 million litres from May’s total.
When broken down, the daily average evacuation stood at 48,025,604 litres, which was calculated by dividing the total monthly volume by the 30 days in June.
Fuel Supply Breakdown: Diesel, Kerosene, and Gasoline
Automobile Gas Oil (AGO/Diesel): The supply of diesel saw a slight increase of 1.73%, reaching 432.18 million litres in June, up from 424.83 million litres in May. However, diesel distribution (truck-out) experienced a significant decline of 23.23%, dropping from 552.35 million litres in May to 424.06 million litres in June.
Household Kerosene (HHK): Both the supply and distribution of household kerosene recorded a 13% decrease in June. The total HHK supply for the month was 7.79 million litres, down from nearly 9 million litres in May.
Automotive Gasoline (PMS): The sharpest decline was seen in the supply of automotive gasoline (PMS), which dropped by nearly 48%, from 72.36 million litres in May to 37.66 million litres in June. Distribution also fell by 16.54% during the same period.
The NMDPRA’s report also detailed the distribution of fuel across Nigeria, showing that different states received varying volumes of fuel during the month.
The figures were as follows:
- Lagos received the highest volume at 205.66 million litres.
- Ogun followed with 88.69 million litres.
- Federal Capital Territory (FCT) received 77.51 million litres.
- Oyo had 72.81 million litres.
Naija News reports that the overall decline in fuel supply and distribution points to ongoing challenges within the petroleum midstream and downstream sectors, which continue to affect national fuel consumption patterns.
However, the NMDPRA has pledged to collaborate with relevant stakeholders to strengthen distribution networks and ensure an uninterrupted supply of petroleum products across the country.
The authority emphasised its commitment to improving fuel supply systems and supporting a more stable petroleum industry in the future.
