Dangote Petroleum Refinery has dismissed reports alleging a shutdown of its operations, describing them as false and misleading.
In a press statement issued on 6th January,2026 , the refinery said production remains ongoing, stable and uninterrupted, assuring Nigerians of continuous supply of petroleum products.
The company disclosed that it is supplying between 40 and 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily through January and February, subject to market demand. It added that on January 4th, the refinery produced 50 million litres of PMS and evacuated 48 million litres, with current stock levels sufficient to cover over 20 days of national consumption.
Dangote Refinery explained that routine maintenance on select units is part of standard operations and does not affect overall output, as fully operational processing units continue to produce PMS, diesel and Jet A-1. It also maintained its ex-gantry price of ₦699 per litre, which is available to all marketers and bulk consumers without discrimination.
The refinery urged Nigerians to disregard unverified claims and rely on credible information, while encouraging stakeholders to patronise locally refined, high quality products.
