Dangote Petroleum Refinery will supply 1.5 billion litres of petrol monthly starting December 2025.
Daily output will reach 50 million litres, rising to 57 million litres from February 2026.
Dangote Ready To Meet Domestic Fuel Demand
The company outlined its plan in a November 30 letter to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
In the letter, CEO David Bird confirmed that the refinery stands ready to meet Nigeria’s domestic petrol demand fully.
Dangote requested NMDPRA officials to verify and publish daily production and stock levels from December 1.
Transparency And Operational Support
This step will ensure transparency and strengthen public confidence in fuel availability.
The company warned that repeated vessel clearance delays increase operational costs and affect consumers directly.

Dangote asked the regulator to allow unhindered clearance of crude, feedstocks, and smooth product lifting by vessel.
Boosting Local Production And Market Stability
Bird emphasised that the refinery supports the ‘Nigeria First’ policy, which prioritises local production over imports.
NMDPRA reported that Nigeria’s daily petrol consumption reached 56.74 million litres in October 2025.
Of this, consumers relied on 27.6 million litres of imports, while local refineries supplied 17.08 million litres.
The gradual shift toward domestic production reflects progress in achieving fuel self-sufficiency.
As Africa’s largest single-train refinery, Dangote said its increased output will stabilise the market.
The company urged government and regulator support to maintain efficiency and reduce import dependence.
Consumers will benefit through lower costs and improved fuel availability nationwide.
Dangote’s pledge marks a major step in Nigeria’s long-term energy security and domestic production strategy.
