Dangote Refinery to upscale domestic petrol supply to 50m liters

Dangote Refinery has announced a commitment to supply 50 million liters per day of petrol (1.5 billion liters monthly) from December 2025 to January 2026.

The company disclosed at the weekend in a notice to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority signed by its chief executive officer, David Bird.

Recall that NMDPRA had announced that Dangote Refinery supplied only 34.15 percent of Nigeria’s 56.7 million liters of petrol per day consumption in October 2025, contrary to the 45 million liters per day claimed by the refinery.

Reacting, the 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery vowed to upscale its domestic supply capacity to outpace petrol imports.

It added that the plant would further increase its petrol supply to the Nigerian market to 1.7 billion liters per month (57 million liters/day) from February 2026 onwards.

The company further sought the support of NMDPRA to import crude feedstocks and blending components unhindered.

“We are writing to confirm our commitment to supply Nigerian domestic PMS requirements.

“Dangote refinery is ready and able to supply 1.5 billion liters of PMS per month (50 million liters/day) in December and January, followed by 1.7 billion liters per month (57 million liters/day) from February 2026 onwards.

“We seek your support to host NMDPRA officials onsite at our refinery from 1st December to validate and publish our daily supply volumes. In the spirit of full transparency to the public, we are willing to publish our daily production and stock volumes (online and print media),” the notice reads.
