Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reaffirmed its capacity to meet and exceed Nigeria’s daily fuel needs, declaring it can supply 75 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), 25 million litres of diesel, and 20 million litres of aviation fuel every day.

The refinery said the volumes are far above Nigeria’s estimated daily consumption of 50 million litres of PMS, 14 million litres of diesel, and four million litres of jet fuel, providing a strong buffer for national fuel supply.

In a public notice on Friday, Dangote Refinery said the excess capacity would enhance market stability, reduce supply shocks, and cut the country’s reliance on fuel imports, especially during periods of high demand or logistics challenges.

“The management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery would like to reiterate our capability to supply petroleum products of the highest international quality standard to marketers and stakeholders. We are offering 75 million litres of PMS, 25 million litres of AGO and 20 million litres of aviation fuel daily,” the company said.

The refinery also reaffirmed its commitment to full regulatory compliance, stressing that it continues to work closely with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to ensure orderly market operations.

Dangote refinery said its supply strategy aligns with national efforts to guarantee energy security and deepen Nigeria’s transition from fuel import dependence to domestic refining.
