This is contrasted with the 64.96 million litres per day recorded in June of the same year, indicating a decline of 12.96 million within one month.
The 19.95 per cent decline occurred after President Tinubu removed fuel subsidy, which he said is not benefiting the poor in Nigeria compared to neighbouring countries.
