Dangote Petroleum Refinery Denies Shutdown Rumours, Confirms Ongoing Production

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has dismissed reports suggesting the facility was shutting down for maintenance, describing such claims as false and misleading.

In a statement released on Monday, the refinery clarified that production at the 650,000 barrels-per-day facility remains stable, uninterrupted, and fully operational.

The Aliko Dangote-owned refinery, the world’s largest single-train oil refinery located in Lagos, also confirmed it continues to supply over 50 million litres of petrol daily to the Nigerian market.

The statement further reaffirmed the N699/litre gantry price, noting that marketers evacuated over 48 million litres of petrol last Sunday.

“Dangote Petroleum Refinery continues to operate at scale and retains the capacity to supply between 40 million and 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily through January and February, subject solely to market demand,” the refinery said.

The refinery also highlighted that on January 4, it produced 50 million litres of PMS and successfully evacuated 48 million litres via its gantry.
