Figures cited by The Nation show average petrol supply rose to 71.5 million litres per day in November 2025, up from 46.0 million litres per day in October.
The report, citing the NMDPRA downstream fact sheet, also suggested consumption eased, with average daily use falling to about 52.9 million litres/day from 56.7 million litres/day the month before.
Regulators linked the stock build to meeting peak festive demand and covering prior months’ shortfalls, describing NNPCL as the supplier of last resort.
The Nation quoted the regulator: “The significant increase in PMS supply in November 2025 was on account of…” inventory and import reasons. The same report stated: “Imports by the NNPC, the supplier of last resort… to build inventory and supply further guarantee supply…”.
Echotitbits take: Higher supply doesn’t automatically mean stable pump prices—distribution, FX and smuggling dynamics still matter. Watch whether queues truly disappear beyond major cities and whether local refining materially cuts imports in early 2026.
