The four refineries operated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) remained shut and did not record any Premium Motor Spirit production in October.
This was revealed in a newly released factsheet by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

Nigeria is proactively securing a brighter energy future.”
According to the Authority, while the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries were shut down since May and January 2025, respectively, the Kaduna refinery is currently undergoing rehabilitation and has also been shut down.
Meanwhile, Nigerians consumed 56.74 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily
