Truth is Allen Onyema is not the sole owner of Air Peace.....if you know, you know! ............. The other key shareholder and political stakeholders may have overruled him! The same political overlords that have suppressed the development of Enugu as a key regional International aviation hub! I do not know why Ndigbo are so naive sometimes! I like Governor Patrick Mba........he is a cunning and slippery politician.......he is stooping to conquer................but he is developing Enugu as a key city ''in plain sight" ! ....................what gragra cannot get you a bit of sophistry may suffice!

Lagos, Ogun, FCT are highest petrol consumers – FG
20th August, 2025

By
Dare Olawin


Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have been identified as major consumers of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol), according to data released by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.

The NMDPRA PMS truckout report for June indicated that a total of 1.44 billion litres of petrol were sent to states. The total truckout showed significant disparities, highlighting the economic and demographic dynamics of the country.

Of the 1.44 billion litres trucked to states, Lagos alone consumed 205.7 million litres, underscoring its status as Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre with a high demand for fuel to power its bustling economy and transportation networks.

This is way higher than the 132.7 million litres consumed by the five states of the South-East within the period under review. Following closely are Ogun and the FCT, with 88.7 million and 77.5 million litres, respectively. Ogun, an industrial zone, is the only Nigerian state bordering Lagos, while Abuja is the seat of power.

Oyo, another state close to Lagos, received 72.8 million litres of PMS in June. Jigawa State recorded the lowest allocation with 9.4 million litres.

It was followed by Ebonyi with 10.5 million litres, Yobe (11.7 million litres), and Bayelsa (11.9 million litres), suggesting regional variations in fuel demand or population.

Regionally, the South-West zone emerged as the top consumer with 452.95 million litres, accounting for nearly a third of the national total. Aside from Lagos, Ogun and Oyo, which took 205.7 million, 88.7 million and 72.8 million litres, respectively, Osun had 35.48 million litres, Ondo got 35.05 million litres, and Ekiti received 15.26 million litres.


The North-Central zone ranked second, with 247.40 million litres distributed. While the FCT led with 77.5 million litres, Niger received 40.7 million litres, Kwara got 34.8 million litres, Benue received 25.7 million litres, Nasarawa used 25.1 million litres, Kogi got 24.1 million litres, and Plateau consumed 19.4 million litres in the sixth month of the year.

It was reported that the North-West consumed 230 million litres in June. Kano led with 68.22 million litres, followed by Kaduna with 43.13 million litres and Sokoto with 37.04 million litres. Kebbi got 30.31 million litres, Katsina received 24.8 million, and Zamfara had 17.04 million, while Jigawa recorded the lowest, 9.4 million litres.

In the South-South, total consumption stood at 224.9 million litres. Delta topped the region with 68.5 million litres, Rivers received 44.6 million litres, and Edo had 43.1 million litres. Akwa Ibom followed with 33.8 million litres, Cross River got 23 million, and Bayelsa had one of the lowest nationwide at 11.9 million litres.

NMDPRA data showed that the North-East accounted for 152.8 million litres of the fuel consumed in June. Adamawa led the zone with 56.9 million litres. Bauchi received 31 million litres, while Gombe and Borno got 19.2 million litres and 18.9 million litres, respectively. Taraba had 15.1 million litres, and Yobe received 11.7 million litres.

The South-East was the lowest consumer with 132.7 million litres. Anambra topped the zone with 40.5 million litres, followed by Imo with 30.6 million litres and Enugu with 27.4 million litres. Abia received 23.7 million litres, while Ebonyi had the second-lowest allocation nationwide with 10.5 million litres.

The figures highlight Nigeria’s uneven petrol consumption pattern, largely driven by population size, vehicle density, and economic activity. It was observed that urban and industrial centres such as Lagos, Ogun, Abuja, Oyo and Kano dominate demand, while sparsely populated states such as Jigawa, Ebonyi, Bayelsa and Yobe consume far less.

According to the NMDPRA Director of Public Affairs, George Ene-Ita, the agency’s submission to the Federation Account Allocation Committee showed that “the total evacuation for June 2025 is 1,440,768,129 litres. The daily average reported is 48,025,604 litres. The average was obtained by dividing the total volume of 1,440,768,129 by the number of 30 days in June.”

Based on the latest figures, PMS supply fell by 290.5 million litres, from 1.77 billion litres in May to 1.48 billion litres in June, representing a 16.42 per cent drop. Distribution (truck-out) volumes also plunged by 246.66 million litres, a 14.62 per cent decline over the same period.

What should this tell anambra government policymakers? 40m litres means Anambra accounts for less than 3% of national petrol demand. Yet they want to build railway. Lol.

Anambra needs to develop its economy and its not with wheelbarrow, keke and shuttle. A lot more industries are needed.

Southwest shares boundaries with neighbouring countries...........the downstream oil sector is very opaque......data is not reliable in my opinion, However there is no doubt insecurity has taken a toll on the southeast! The biafra agitation was mishandled by the proponents and opponents but socioeconomic activity is picking up in earnest! Aside all of the above...the southeast is geographically tiny compared to the other regions....so our pms use has to be less!

What happened to our ten storey international hotel project after the piling is now completed?

abuzz33:
Which neighboring countries? Benin Republic uses 115m litres per month. Togo uses 24m.

Fact is that petrol demand is correlated to economic activity and wealth. Lagos is as small as Anambra but uses many times more because of economic activity.

We should not make excuses and look for how to grow the economy to be more sophisticated and advanced.

Every indicator whether its power, telecommunications says that we are smaller economically than the likes of Ogun, Oyo, Kano, Kaduna, Delta, Rivers and FCT.

I keep saying we need to have people in government with strategic mindset. The state needs big business and industrialization not people lining along major markets selling garri and bread.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Could you be specific on who you’re referring to by ‘proponents’!? Maybe you could proffer your own suggestions as to how to go about confronting a murderous, devious and xenophobic hegemonic cabal intent on crushing any suggestion or actual moves to effect a change to the status quo or structure of Nigeria! It’s easy to sit in the comfort of one’s air conditioned abode and lecture those brave enough to place themselves in harms way by confronting the hegemonic demons holding all of us to ransom…..and slavery by default!

IPOB started and went about their bid for secession in a peaceful and non-combative manner! IT WAS THE EVIL BUHARI GOV’T THAT STARTED THE VIOLENCE AND BLOODLETTING, and IPOB had no other option but to defend themselves!

The other side to the argument is the influx of murderous sahelian scumbags into the south-east! They brought to the region kidnapping and mass murder of men, women and children on a scale not seen since the 1967-70 war! Note also that the period this insecurity commenced in the south-east coincided with the arrival of Buhari and his APC goons in 2015! The south-east governors were either unwilling or unable to confront this evil, despite the strident calls by the likes of Mazi Kanu that they and the federal gov’t either put a stop to the imported madness or IPOB would be forced to form a armed vigilante force to do the job the federal and state gov’ts weren’t doing! And the rest as they say is history!

Eboofa:
If you know the amount of petrol that leaves nigeria,,,,,you will not make that assertion! Comparing lagos to southeast is absurd........where do you begin to make the comparisons! You cannot build anything on nothing...............no matter how lofty your industrializtion dreams maybe ....the foundation for a solid take off of industry is wobbly at best............building it will take a lot of time, whilst waiting to improve power and transport infrastructure ....let us go after the low hanging fruits!

Enugu has started with tourism and lifestyle as their unique selling point..............Abia is doing a lot with low intesity industries based on Geometric power...........Even perpetual laggards and arguably the richest Igbo state Imo....is pushing power and oil and gas and of course their oringo tourism...........What is the unique selling point of anambra as a state? I have said it that we can grow our tax pot by growing our economy immediately by pushing our strength in commerce,Logistics ( ware housing and distribution) and also medical tourism and pharmaceuticals!

Soludo should pursue his AMIC dream with gusto and detail...we need more info on what the AMIC is all about! As for medical tourism ....we already have some of the best trained medical doctors in africa.......some of the best equipped hospitals, A new hospital in Ojoto to be set up by Anambra US based doctors............Its a pity soludo was not present at any of the heart surgeries done by VOOM and Okwuosa foundations........the foundations carry out more than 50% of open heart surgeries done in the nation today!

We need to stop whining and complaining before it becomes the mark of the igbo race.

The reality is that since 1999 Anambra has received over 2.5 trillion in FAAC allocation and over 500 billion in IGR. So funds have been there for development.

Soludo now rounding up his first term has received over 450 billion naira between 2022-2024 and a further 150 billion from Jan - Jun 2025. That is 600 billion in three years plus and that is more than enough to transform the state beyond just building roads, installing street lights and building govt house and an amusement park.

Anambra needs real transformation like manufacturing and the government should create the enabling environment. Let foreign investors design industrial layouts not government architects. Lagos Free Trade Zone is being developed by Tolaram a multinational not LASG and it reflects the brainpower.

Anambra should also clean up its cities and make them attractive. Dirty open air markets lined with wooden stalls and barrows and keke riding recklessly is not progress but backwardness. I await the day the state govt puts proper public bus system in place and regulates markets properly.

Until then showing pictures of Emeka Anyaoku Boulevard hides the monstrous chaos of Eke Awka in Awka and Ochanja in Onitsha only for the ignorant.

Unbiased1:
Lol. This thread is filled with so much mediocrity already. You need to see how dey praise basic-looking projects here.

Eboofa:
The only person whining here is YOU ! Lagos has tremendous geostrategic advantages over Anambra state...that is why YOU live there,,,,along with the wealthiest and most educated Anambra people! Hello ! wake up and smell the coffee! Anambra has to play to its strenghts........we cannot wake up and expect to take on lagos...a former national capital, home to 20 million people and location of 4 seaports and counting........are you kidding me!

Bros ! manufacturing is good but I do not believe thats our area of absolute dominance! neither is it in agriculture! we dominate in distributive trade.......let us wring out as much benefit from that area..........from the benefits therein we can build up other sectors! Soludo's Anambra Mixed use district project is a good one but he really needs to sell that to ndi anambra, that project has a bit of what both of us are sayin..........by the way commerce and trade employs far more ndiAnambra than industries............The trade fair in lagos contains at least 30,000 stall and shops............Lagos state does not want it demolished, they want control of the market in terms of tax collection! They want to levy 100,000 naira per shop per month.....all multiplied by 30,000 shops.....DO THE MATH sir !

IGBOPROMISE1:
Last i heard on the project was that they were doing the piling. But that was about 7 months ago! We’ve also heard nothing on the rail project Soludo talked about! I think it was called sky train or something like that.

0bjpmb:
Why do you think he’s paid? The road is more than 10km and it is the most beautiful place in southeast. Why are you worried that the road is being shown? Is it making you jittery? Haha. You people always have issues when Anambra do what you people have been doing for decades. The guy is very correct in what he stated. If you have any issue with it, then go to your state thread.

wizzyvibes:
Another paid mugu. Na my state be this. Me I no even get your time. Anybody wey don dey this thread no say you be bot. Don't sha come here and be spewing nonsense lies. That road is less than 3km

Chikeluba25:
Road dualization in Onitsha. Soludo is really getting it right with massive road expansion across the state. This is what we hv been longing for.
I hope to see Awka(ringroad)-Isiagu-Nibo road 2: 33-Nkwelle road... get this kind of attention sooner or later.

Anambra truly leading Igboland in overall development and advancement. God continue to bless Anambra

Scholes007:
What is the essence of these unnecessary comments. Anambra is doing great. We say many good things about the state but your rhetorics can't be welcomed.
