The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has reported a decline in the country’s average daily consumption of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol.

According to the authority’s “State of Downstream Sector: NMDPRA Fact Sheet (November 2025)” posted on X, average daily petrol consumption dropped by 3.8 million litres per day (ml/d) to 52.9 ml/d in November, down from 56.7 ml/d in October 2025.

Despite the drop in consumption, petrol supply increased significantly, rising to 71.5 ml/d in November from 46.0 ml/d in October. As a result, petrol stock sufficiency improved to 16.65 days, compared to 11.1 days the previous month.

The report also highlighted an increase in the supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), commonly called cooking gas, which rose to 5 metric tonnes per day (mt/d) in November from 4 mt/d in October.

Details on the factors behind these trends are expected to be released soon.
