AGO (Diesel) Sales
2 records · Litres · NEDB ID: ago_sales · Last updated: 5 Jul 2026
The total volume of Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) sold through licensed distributors and major consumer sectors — transport, power generation, and industry — each month, in million litres.
AGO is the primary backup fuel for generators and heavy transport. Rising AGO consumption often signals deteriorating grid electricity supply, as businesses fall back on self-generation.
AGO consumption is a proxy indicator of Nigeria's electricity supply gap. High and growing diesel demand imposes a significant cost burden on businesses and households, reducing competitiveness.
AGO sales are 23.2% above the 5-year average, signalling a critical electricity supply failure.
