Dangote Refinery Supplies 23.5 Million Litres of Petrol Daily as NNPCL’s Warri, Kaduna Remain Offline

The Dangote Refinery evacuated 23.52 million litres per day of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) or petrol on average in the month of November, according to data on domestic refineries performance, from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

This fell short of the planned Dangote Refinery domestic PMS or petrol supply of 35 million litres a day, according to the NMDPRA.

Actual Diesel (AGO) domestic evacuation performance by the Dangote Refinery averaged 5.596 million litres per day.

The Warri and Kaduna refineries remained shut with zero production while the Port Harcourt refinery evacuated 349 thousand barrels a day of AGO, produced while the refinery was operational before May 2025.

The Waltersmith refinery produced an average of 133 thousand barrels of AGO a day in November, while the Aradel refinery average AGO supply was 296,000 barrels per day.

The Edo refinery produced 60,000 barrels per day of AGO.

The ongoing failure of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s (NNPCL) refineries to contribute to domestic supply places the entire burden of supply security on the Dangote Refinery.

The 23.52 Litres a Day figure suggests that Dangote’s actual output had climbed from the 18.03 M/Litres a Day average reported for the period between October 2024 and October 2025, showing continuous operational optimization.

Dangote Refinery has also formally pledged to the regulator (NMDPRA) that it would supply 50 M/litres a Day of PMS in December 2025 and January 2026, translating to 1.5 billion litres per month.

The company plans to increase this supply further to 57 M/Litres a Day, or 1.7 billion litres per month from February 2026 onwards.

This successful ramp-up has directly contributed to stabilizing the fuel market and reducing the cost of fuel imports.

Total PMS supply to the market was 71.5 M/ litres a day in November with consumption put at 52.9 M/ litres a day, according to the NMDPRA data, suggesting Dangote contributed 32.8% of total supply and can currently meet 44.46% of Nigerian consumption.
