Within the period, the oil company said it imported about 915.48 million litres equivalent to 81 .76 percent of the amount consumed in the country.
The NNPC spokesman, Ndu Ughamadu said, yesterday, that a breakdown of the volume of white products injected into the system showed that the 1.352.86 billion litres of products sold and distributed through its downstream subsidiary, Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC), within the period was slightly higher than the 1.282.61 billion litres for September 2017.
The statement didn’t give details of what each refinery produced within the month, but that PPMC distributed 1,119.79 billion litres of petrol, 95.72 million litres of kerosene and 137.34 million litres of diesel.
“Total sale of white products for the period October 2016 to October 2017 stood at 16.18 billion litres. Petrol amounted to 14.11 billion litres and accounts for 87.22%. While total special products for October 2017 was 114.49 million litres, comprising of 63.82 million litres of Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO) and other special products totaling 50.67 million litres,” it said.
