Dangote Refinery has announced plans to boost Nigeria’s domestic petrol supply to 50 million litres per day—equivalent to 1.5 billion litres monthly—beginning December 2025 through January 2026.
The commitment was disclosed in a notice to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), signed by the refinery’s Chief Executive Officer, David Bird, and issued over the weekend.

The move follows NMDPRA’s recent disclosure that the refinery supplied 34.15 percent of the country’s average daily petrol consumption of 56.7 million litres in October 2025—contrary to the refinery’s earlier claim of producing 45 million litres per day.
In response, the 650,000-barrel-per-day facility pledged to scale up output significantly to reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported petrol. The refinery further stated that its domestic supply volume will increase to 1.7 billion litres per month (57 million litres per day) from February 2026.
Dangote Refinery also requested NMDPRA’s support to ensure unhindered importation of crude feedstocks and blending components, which it said are essential to meeting its supply targets.

The notice read in part:
“We are writing to confirm our commitment to supply Nigerian domestic PMS requirements. Dangote Refinery is ready and able to supply 1.5 billion litres of PMS per month (50 million litres/day) in December and January, followed by 1.7 billion litres per month (57 million litres/day) from February 2026 onwards.”
The refinery further invited NMDPRA officials to maintain an onsite presence from December 1 to verify and publicly publish its daily production and stock levels, stating that it is committed to full transparency through regular disclosures across online and print platforms.
The company added that delays in vessel clearance and feedstock approvals continue to affect refinery operations and called for regulatory intervention to ease logistics and stabilise supply to the domestic market.
