The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said that 1.76 billion litres of petrol was supplied in June.
The corporation disclosed this in its Monthly Financial and Operation Report (MFOR) for the month of June released in Abuja on Sunday.
It said that the quantity translated to 58.65 million liters/day were supplied and effectively distributed.
It noted that to sustain adequate products supply and distribution in the downstream sector, the NNPC had continued to monitor the daily stock of petrol across the nation.
On pipeline vandalisim, the report revealed that there was 77 percent rise in the cases of oil pipeline vandalism in its network of pipeline infrastructure across the country in the month under review.
According to the report, 106 pipeline points were breached, representing an increase from the 60 points vandalized in May 2019.
It further explained that the Aba-Enugu axis in the system 2E pipeline corridor accounted for 25 percent of the total pulverized points, while the Lagos Atlas Cove-Mosimi axis of the system 2B had 23 percent of the compromised pipeline points.
It noted that the Ibadan-Ilorin leg of the System 2B pipeline accounted for 18 percent of affected lines, followed by the Port Harcourt-Aba section of the system 2E which was responsible for 13 percent of the affected pipeline.
