Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals has said it is ready to supply 1.5 billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, per month to the Nigerian market in December 2025 and January 2026. This translates to 50 million litres per day.
The refinery also said it will increase PMS supply to 1.7 billion litres per month (57 million litres/day) from February 2026.
The company made this known in a letter to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) dated November 30, 2025, and signed by Chief Executive Officer, David Bird.
The letter came after NMDPRA released its Fact Sheet for October 2025 on the state of the midstream and downstream oil and gas sector in Nigeria.
In the report, NMDPRA indicated that the average daily consumption of PMS in October rose to 56.74 million litres, from 43.0 million litres in September 2025. Diesel stood at 17.13 million litres per day, aviation fuel was 2.61 million litres per day and cooking gas was 6.095 metric tonnes per day in October 2025.

“We continue to experience delays in vessel clearance, which impacts not only the refinery operations but also our customers, adding unnecessary costs and inefficiencies.
“We will appreciate your usual consideration and support to secure Nigeria’s domestic fuel security and abundance. Please allow the Nigeria First policy to work for the benefits of all Nigerians.”
