Some Nigerians have expressed anger over drastic reduction in fuel consumption immediately after subsidy was removed.

According to them, the development has confirmed their suspicion and outright condemnation of the subsidy regime that has rather impoverished average Nigerians.

Most Nigerians regarded the subsidy payment as outright fraud even as attested to by former president Mohammadu Buhari, but lacked the political will to stop it despite the mouthed integrity credential.

After subsidy removal, Nigeria’s average daily consumption of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) popularly called ‘petrol’ has dropped to 52 million litres in July as against the national consumption figure of 64,964,000 that was recorded on the 30th June 2023.

MetroBusinessNews (MBN) reports that this is based on data obtained from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

According to the Authority, the land-based stock and closing stock less dead stock of petrol was one billion one hundred and twenty million four hundred and eighty-seven thousand eight hundred and forty-eight litres (1,120,487,848) as of the end of July 2023.

The land-based days sufficiency was 21.55 days while marine days sufficiency was put at 10.02 days and total days sufficiency cumulatively stood at 31.57 days.
