Dangote Refinery Denies Shut-Down Rumours


Dangote Petroleum Refinery has dismissed claims that it has halted operations, calling such reports false and misleading.

In a statement released on Monday, the company confirmed that production at the refinery remains steady, ongoing, and uninterrupted.

The refinery said it supplies between 40 and 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily, with this level of production expected to continue through January and February, depending on market demand.

On January 4, the refinery reported producing 50 million litres of PMS and successfully evacuating 48 million litres. Management noted that current stock levels are enough to meet over 20 days of national fuel consumption.

Dangote Refinery emphasized that routine maintenance on certain units does not affect overall output, and that production of PMS, diesel, and Jet A-1 continues smoothly via fully operational processing units.

The company also reiterated that its ex-gantry price remains N699 per litre for all marketers and bulk consumers, encouraging stakeholders to support locally refined, high-quality petroleum products.
