The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) says petrol consumption fell to 46.38 million litres per day in June, largely due to the removal of subsidy.
Farouk Ahmed, chief executive officer , NMDPRA, disclosed this during a stakeholders meeting with oil and gas downstream operators on Monday in Lagos.
When compared with the 65 million litres average daily consumption before petrol subsidy removal, he said the figure represents a 35 percent decrease.
“The current daily consumption has drastically reduced as against 65 million litres which had been the daily consumption before subsidy removal,” he said.
