The Dangote Refinery will supply up to 65 million litres of petrol daily to meet Nigeria’s national demand and export a surplus of up to 20 million litres, according to Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group.
A structured offtake agreement has been concluded with selected marketers to ensure nationwide distribution and eliminate supply instability.
The refinery’s output exceeds current domestic requirements, marking a break from decades of fuel import dependence and recurrent scarcity.
Nigeria’s average daily petrol consumption ranges between 50 and 60 million litres.
The development signals a major structural shift in Nigeria’s fuel supply chain, potentially conserving billions of dollars annually in foreign exchange.
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has endorsed the revised distribution framework, which channels nationwide supply through major marketing companies.
