‘Dangote Petroleum Refinery’ has outlined plans to provide the market with 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily—amounting to 1.5 billion litres monthly—in December 2025 and January 2026, aiming to maintain stable nationwide fuel supply throughout the festive period and into the New Year.
‘Aliko Dangote’, President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, revealed this over the weekend, stating that the refinery will begin releasing 50 million litres daily starting December 1.
He reiterated the company’s commitment to energy stability, confirming that 1.5 billion litres will be supplied in December and another 1.5 billion litres in January, with plans to increase output to 1.7 billion litres in February, equivalent to roughly 60 million litres per day.
During a visit by the ‘South-South Development Commission (SSDC)’ to the refinery and fertiliser facility, he noted that current output stands between 40 and 45 million litres per day, assuring that the upgraded supply capacity should put to rest claims that Nigerian refineries cannot meet domestic demand.
Dangote further disclosed ongoing collaboration with petroleum marketers to improve distribution and expand the use of CNG-powered haulage, stressing that the initiative is driven not by profit but by the need to ensure national fuel availability.
He added that expansion efforts are underway to push the refinery toward 1.4 million barrels per day capacity, with over 100,000 workers projected to be involved in the extended development phase.
The ‘SSDC Managing Director, Usoro Offiong Akpabio’, praised Dangote for advancing Nigeria’s industrial strength, energy security, and economic competitiveness, highlighting the South-South region as a key energy corridor with strong potential for joint development in petrochemicals, logistics, agriculture, distribution, and CNG infrastructure.
In a letter addressed to the ‘NMDPRA’ by refinery Managing Director ‘David Bird’, the organisation reaffirmed readiness to host regulators onsite for verification from December 1 and expressed willingness to publish daily stock and production figures for transparency, while requesting smoother permitting processes for crude imports and shipping activities.
