Dangote Petroleum Refinery has expressed readiness to discharge responsibility for Nigeria’s domestic petrol supply, pledging to deliver 1.5 billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) monthly, equivalent to 50 million litres per day, starting in December 2025.
In a letter addressed to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, dated November 30, 2025, and signed by Chief Executive Officer David Bird, Dangote Refinery requested support to have the agency’s officials onsite from December 1 to validate and publicly publish daily production and stock volumes across various media outlets.
The supply is set to rise to 1.7 billion litres per month (57 million litres daily) from February 2026, the refinery stated in a letter to the NMDPRA.
According to the letter, the move is aimed at ensuring full transparency and strengthening public confidence in the availability of domestic fuel. The letter also called for unhindered clearance of crude, feedstocks, and blending components, as well as smooth lifting of petroleum products by vessel.
Dangote Refinery highlighted that delays in vessel clearance have continued to affect operations, increase costs, and impact consumers.
