Domestic crude supply to refineries falls 6.3%, NMDPRA says

Nigerian refineries received 15.97 million barrels of domestic crude in September 2026, down 6.3% from August, according to the NMDPRA. Average daily petrol receipts fell 23.4% to 38.7 million litres as domestic supply declined and imports eased after approved import permit volumes were exhausted. Domestic refineries supplied 28.5 million litres per day, or 73.6% of total receipts, while imports fell to 10.2 million litres per day. Dangote Refinery operated at 105.98% utilisation, processing about 689,000 barrels per day against average receipts of 618,000 barrels and drawing the difference from inventory.
