In December, total petrol supply was 74.2 million litres per day: imports took 42.2 million litres per day, while Dangote supplied 32 million litres per day. The figures represent a stark contrast to November, when petrol imports were 1.57 billion litres, and Dangote supplied just 585 million litres. It was observed that the jump in petrol supply from 2.15 billion litres in November to 2.3 billion litres in December reflects seasonal demand pressures during the Yuletide. It was observed that while local refining is growing, some marketers still have a passion for imported petrol. It said that in September, Dangote supplied 17.6 million litres per day, while imports stood at 22.1 million litres per day.
