Household Kerosene recorded a 13.07 per cent fall in both supply and distribution in June showing a leap in shift to Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) also called cooking gas.

The information was provided by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

Nigeria is actively working to increase the use of LPG through of various initiatives, including the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) and the National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP).

The goal is to reduce reliance on other fuels and boost LPG adoption for both cooking and other applications.

The CRM model, promoted by the Nigerian government, aims to make LPG more accessible and affordable by having marketers deliver and retrieve cylinders, handle maintenance, and allow consumers to only pay for the gas.
The NGEP programme focuses on accelerating the adoption of LPG for vehicles (Autogas) and expanding the necessary infrastructure.
The Authority also reported that Nigeria consumed 1.48 billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) in June, a sharp decline in the supply of the product compared to May.

According to the NMDPRA Director of Public Affairs, George Ene-Ita, the Agency’s submission to the Federation Account Allocation Committee, “the total evacuation for June 2025 is 1,440,768,129 litres.

The daily average reported is 48,025,604 litres.

The average was obtained by dividing the total volume of 1,440,768,129 by the number of days (30) in June.” In the latest figures in the report, PMS supply fell by 290.5 million litres, from 1.77 billion litres in May to 1.48 billion litres in June, representing a 16.42 per cent drop.

Distribution (truck-out) volumes also plunged by 246.66 million litres, a 14.62 per cent decline over the same period.

While Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) supply rose marginally by 1.73 per cent to 432.18 million litres, its truck-out volume dropped by 23.23 per cent to 424.06 million litres.
Also, Aviation Turbine Kerosene suffered one of the steepest declines, as supply dropped by 47.96 per cent and truck-out by 16.54 per cent.

No supply or distribution of Low Pour Fuel Oil was recorded in June, compared to 116,401 litres in May.

The NMDPRA noted that the detailed reports cover supply, distribution, monthly stock, and PMS truck-out to states for June 2025, and have been submitted for the committee’s consideration and adoption.
