Dangote Petroleum Refinery has confirmed its ability to supply fuel volumes well above Nigeria’s domestic demand.
The refinery said it can produce 75 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit daily, surpassing the country’s estimated consumption of 50 million litres. It can also supply 25 million litres of Automotive Gas Oil daily, compared with a national demand of 14 million litres.
Additionally, the company highlighted that its daily aviation fuel production capacity of 20 million litres far exceeds the estimated domestic requirement of four million litres.
The refinery noted that producing fuel volumes above current demand creates vital supply buffers, strengthens market stability, and lessens reliance on imports, especially during peak demand periods or logistical disruptions.
“The management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery would like to reiterate our capability to supply the underlisted petroleum products of the highest international quality standard to marketers and stakeholders,” the company said in a public notice.
It offered 75 million litres of PMS, 25 million litres of AGO and 20 million litres of aviation fuel daily.
The Refinery also reiterated its commitment to full regulatory compliance and ongoing collaboration with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, emphasizing that its supply strategy supports market stability and orderly downstream operations.
The refinery stated that it remains fully engaged with regulators and industry stakeholders to support Nigeria’s national energy security goals, as the country advances its shift from fuel import dependence to domestic refining.
It added that it continues to collaborate closely with market players to ensure that the advantages of local refining—such as reliable supply, competitive pricing, and stronger market discipline—are consistently passed on to consumers across the nation.
Industry analysts observe that producing fuel beyond estimated domestic demand lowers the need for emergency imports, boosts inventory reserves, and strengthens the resilience of Nigeria’s supply chain.
