Nigeria’s petroleum regulator, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), has issued new fuel import permits to seven oil marketers. This move addresses growing concerns regarding the nation’s domestic fuel supply levels. The permits are valid for the third quarter of 2026, allowing the companies to import unspecified quantities of fuel. The NMDPRA’s decision indicates a proactive approach to ensuring sufficient fuel availability within the country. This action comes as Nigeria continues to navigate challenges in meeting its domestic petroleum demands. The approvals aim to stabilize the market and prevent potential shortages. Further details regarding the specific import volumes were not immediately available.
