The oil-refining facility also said it has capacity to supply 20 million litres of aviation fuel daily, far above the estimated maximum domestic consumption of four million litres.

According to the Refinery in a statement issued Friday, January 30, 2026, the availability of volumes above prevailing demand provides critical supply buffers, enhances market stability and reduces reliance on imports, particularly during periods of peak demand or logistical disruption.

The statement noted: “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 further said it could offer 75 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, 25 million litres of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and 20 million litres of aviation fuel daily.

Dangote Refinery as well quoted industry analysts to have observed that supplying above estimated consumption would reduce the need for emergency imports, strengthens inventory cover and enhances the resilience of the domestic supply chain.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery also reaffirmed its commitment to full regulatory compliance and continued cooperation with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

The company said that its supply approach was aligned with ongoing efforts to ensure market stability and orderly downstream operations.

The Refinery said it remained fully engaged with regulators and industry stakeholders in support of Nigeria’s national energy security objectives, as the country deepens its transition from fuel import dependence to domestic refining.

It added that it continues to work closely with market participants to ensure that the benefits of local refining, including reliable supply, competitive pricing and improved market discipline are delivered consistently to consumers nationwide.

With domestic refining capacity expanding, stakeholders believe Nigeria is increasingly positioned to reduce foreign exchange exposure, improve supply security and strengthen downstream efficiency through locally refined petroleum products.
