The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has reported a notable increase in the daily domestic supply of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) popularly known as petrol for December 2025 compared to the previous month.
According to the NMDPRA December 2025 Factsheet Report released on Thursday, the average daily domestic PMS supply rose to 74.2 million litres per day (ml/d) in December, up from 71.5 ml/d in November 2025.
Key Highlights📈 Supply & ConsumptionPMS daily supply: 74.2 ml/d (December) vs. 71.5 ml/d (November).
PMS consumption: Increased to 63.7 ml/d in December from 52.9 ml/d in November, reflecting stronger fuel demand.
🏭 Refinery ContributionsThe Dangote Refinery, Nigeria’s largest private refining facility, showed strong capacity utilisation, reaching up to 71 % in December 2025.
Domestic PMS supply expanded from 19.47 ml/d in November to approximately 32.01 ml/d in December.
Other national refineries including Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna remained shut down for production during the period.
🛢️ Other Petroleum ProductsDiesel (Automotive Gas Oil): Daily supply decreased to 17.9 ml/d in December from 20.4 ml/d in November.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG): Domestic supply edged up to 5.2 metric tonnes/day from 5.0 mt/day previously.
Refinery ActivityThere was no production recorded at the four national refineries in December.
Modular refineries, such as Waltersmith, Edo, and ARADEL, showed varied capacity utilisation but contributed modestly to overall fuel outputs.
Summary: The December 2025 midstream and downstream petroleum sector performance reflects a strengthening petrol supply in Nigeria, driven largely by increased output from the Dangote Refinery, rising consumption, and improved stock positions even as public refineries remain offline.
