The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has announced that the proposed 15% import duty on petrol (PMS) and diesel is no longer being considered.
In a statement on X, the agency’s spokesperson, George Ene-Ita, clarified that the plan to implement the duty had been dropped.
NMDPRA assured the public of adequate fuel supply across the country, sourced from both local refineries and imports, and urged against hoarding or panic buying.
It also pledged to monitor the market closely to prevent disruptions and ensure stable distribution during the current peak demand period.
