Libya maintains its position as the cheapest fuel market in Africa with just $0.028 per litre.
Nine out of ten countries have fuel prices under $1 per litre, signalling widespread affordability across much of the continent.
Nigeria, despite partial subsidy reforms, still ranks among the cheapest with fuel priced at $0.586 per litre.
DR Congo is the only country in the top 10 where fuel costs exceed $1 per litre, standing at $1.039.
Ethiopia and Liberia are the only non-oil-producing countries among Africa’s top 10 cheapest fuel markets.

Nigeria’s daily fuel consumption peaked at 66.7 million litres in 2022.
Fuel consumption fell to 47.5 million litres in 2023 after the subsidy removal.
Consumption rebounded slightly to 51.8 million litres in 2024, but remains far below 2022 levels.
Between 2015 and 2022, consumption grew from 48.7m to 66.7m litres daily.
2021 saw a notable increase to 61.9m litres, likely due to economic recovery post-COVID.
The lowest recorded consumption in the 10-year period was 47.5m litres in 2023.
The post-subsidy dip marks the largest single-year decline in consumption within the observed period.

Key takeaways:

As of January to June 2025, Nigeria had nine operational refineries.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery is the largest, with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day (bpd).
The total combined capacity of all functional refineries is almost 975,000 bpd.
Government-owned refineries, Warri, Kaduna, and Port Harcourt (old), collectively have a capacity of 295,000 bpd.
Out of 27 licensed refineries by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), only nine were operational during this period.
Other operational refineries such as Aradel, OPAC, Edo, Waltersmith, and Duport Midstream collectively have a capacity of 29,500 bpd.

Only 4 African countries ever crossed 1 million b/d: Libya, Nigeria, Algeria, and Angola.
Libya was Africa’s top producer in the 1970s and 2000s. At its peak, Libya did over 3 million b/d. No other African country has touched that.

Nigeria peaked in 2005 with 2.5 million b/d. But since then, it’s been unstable due to theft and pipeline issues.

Angola and Algeria have stayed around or above 1 million b/d for long periods, especially post-2000.
Despite oil discoveries, most African countries never got close to 1 million b/d: countries like Chad, Sudan, and Gabon, while some peaked under 500k.
