Dangote Refinery has pledged to meet Nigeria’s domestic petrol demand by supplying 1.5 billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) monthly, equivalent to 50 million litres daily, beginning December 2025.
The company announced that the supply would increase to 1.7 billion litres per month (57 million litres daily) from February 2026. This commitment was conveyed in a letter to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), signed by the refinery’s Chief Executive Officer, David Bird, dated November 30, 2025.
The refinery has requested that NMDPRA deploy officials onsite from December 1 to verify and publicly disclose daily production and stock levels, emphasizing transparency to boost market confidence.
Bird also sought support for the seamless clearance of crude oil, feedstocks, and blending components, as well as the smooth lifting of finished petroleum products by vessels, noting that delays in vessel clearance have increased operational costs and affected consumers.
In the letter, Bird stated, “We are writing to confirm our commitment to supply Nigerian domestic PMS requirements. Dangote Refinery is ready and able to supply 1.5 billion litres per month in December and January, followed by 1.7 billion litres per month from February 2026 onwards. We seek your support to secure Nigeria’s domestic fuel security and abundance.”
The refinery’s plan aligns with the Federal Government’s strategy to strengthen local production capacity and reduce reliance on imported petrol amid persistent supply challenges in the downstream sector.
