The PUNCH observed that the 1.46 billion litres produced within the period was not up to what the country would consume in two months.
According to the report, in 2015, the country produced 377.9 million litres of petrol; 1.05 million litres in 2016; 951.56 million in 2017 and 128.1 million litres in 2019.
No fuel was refined in 2018, it indicated.
From 2020 to 2023, the country only produced diesel and kerosene with the help of modular refineries, as the country’s refineries were moribund.
As a result, over 20 billion litres of petrol was imported in 2023, three billion litres below the 23 billion litres imported in 2022.
