Dangote Refinery Dismisses Shutdown Claims, Affirms Daily Production of 50 Million Litres of PMS

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has firmly dismissed widespread reports suggesting that it is shutting down operations for maintenance, describing the claims as false, misleading, and baseless. The company clarified that its operations remain stable, uninterrupted, and fully functional, with consistent output to meet Nigeria’s fuel demand.

In an official statement, the refinery confirmed that it continues to produce between 40 million and 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily, depending on market demand. On January 4, 2026, the facility produced 50 million litres of PMS and evacuated 48 million litres through its gantry, while current stock levels are sufficient to cover more than 20 days of national consumption, easing fears of supply shortages.

The refinery further explained that routine maintenance activities on selected processing units, including the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) and the Residual Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) unit, do not disrupt overall production due to the advanced and integrated design of the facility. Other key units such as the Naphtha Hydrotreater, CCR Reformer, and Hydrocracker remain fully operational, producing PMS, diesel (Automotive Gas Oil), and Jet A-1 fuel. (The Telegraph Nigeria)

Dangote Refinery also reaffirmed its ex-gantry price of ₦699 per litre for PMS, available to all marketers and bulk consumers, urging stakeholders to patronize locally refined products for improved affordability, quality, and energy security. The company emphasized that daily loading volumes between 31 million and 48 million litres since December 16, 2025, are fully verifiable through records maintained by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). (The Telegraph Nigeria)

The refinery advised the public and industry stakeholders to disregard unverified reports and rely on credible sources, reiterating its commitment to national energy security, economic stability, and continuous supply of high-quality petroleum products.
