This is a positive development for the countrys energy sector as it reduces the dependence on foreign imports and promotes self-sufficiency. The increase in local supply can be attributed to the efforts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in revamping and expanding its refineries. This also aligns with the governments goal of boosting local production and reducing the countrys reliance on imports. This trend is expected to continue leading to a more stable and sustainable energy sector in Nigeria.
