Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals announced Wednesday February 25, 2026 it will supply between 60 and 65Million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily to meet Nigerian national demand.
This is 10-15Million Litres per day less than the volume (75Million Litres per day) the company announced to the public, back in late January 2026, that it would supply, but closer to the originally stated volume (53Million Litres per day) during the construction and in the months before the commencement of gasoline production from the refinery in September 2024.
What is clear is that Dangote has been increasing its supply of the product. The facility’s January 2026 supply of 40Million litres per day to the Nigerian market was a 25% increase Month-on-Month and the first time in which local supply trumped import volumes since the start-up of the refinery.
Wednesday’s statement noted that the 650,000Barrel Per Stream Day plant, would “produce enough effectively positioning the country for sustained fuel self sufficiency while exporting up to 20 Million litres in surplus”.
The announcement came after “a structured offtake agreement has been concluded with selected marketers to ensure nationwide distribution and eliminate supply instability”, the statement said.
“We have agreed an offtake framework to supply up to 65Million litres daily for the domestic market,” Dangote said. “Any surplus, estimated at between 15 and 20Million litres, will be exported.
”Under a revised distribution framework endorsed by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), the refinery will channel nationwide supply through major marketing companies, including MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited Retail (NNPC), 11 plc (Mobil Producing Nigeria), TOTALEnergies Marketing Nigeria Plc, Rainoil Limited, Northwest Petroleum & Gas Company Limited, Ardova Plc, Bovas & Company Limited, AA Rano Nigeria Limited, AYM Shafa Limited, Conoil and Masters Energy.
“The structured model is designed to eliminate supply bottlenecks and curb speculative practices that have historically triggered disruptions”.
Dangote’s statement noted that “the development signals what industry analysts describe as a significant structural reform in Nigeria’s fuel supply chain.
“For decades, Africa’s largest crude oil producer relied heavily on imported refined products, exposing the economy to foreign exchange volatility, logistics disruptions and periodic shortages”.
