The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) reported a substantial rise in Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) supply for November 2025. According to the authority’s November fact sheet, daily petrol deliveries increased to 71.5 million litres, up from 46 million litres in October—a 55 % jump driven largely by imports from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.).
National consumption also grew, reaching 52.1 million litres per day in November, a 44.5 % increase from October’s 28.9 million litres. Domestic refineries contributed 17.1 million litres per day, while the average daily PMS consumption for the month was 52.9 million litres. Despite this, the state‑owned refineries at Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna remained shut, recording no production.
The NMDPRA attributed the higher petrol supply to the need for building inventories and ensuring availability during the peak demand period leading up to the year‑end festivities. The authority also noted the low supply levels in September and October, which fell below national demand, and the arrival of twelve vessels scheduled to discharge in October that extended into November.
In addition to petrol, gas supply rose in November 2025. Average daily gas deliveries increased to 4.684 billion standard cubic feet, up from 3.94 billion in October. Nigeria LNG Trains 1‑6 maintained a stable output of 3.5 billion standard cubic feet per day, with utilisation improving slightly to 73.7 % from 71.68 % in October. This growth was driven by higher plant utilisation across processing hubs and steady export volumes from the Nigeria LNG plant in Bonny.
The NMDPRA’s report underscores ongoing efforts to strengthen petroleum product supply in Nigeria, especially during periods of high demand. The data suggest a positive trend in the country’s petroleum sector, with increased supply and consumption of both petrol and gas. As demand continues to rise, the authority’s role in maintaining a stable and reliable supply chain will be crucial for meeting Nigeria’s energy needs.
