Dangote Petroleum Refinery has denied reports suggesting it is shutting down operations, describing such claims as false and misleading. The company said production at the refinery remains ongoing, stable, and uninterrupted.
In a press statement dated January 5, 2026, the refinery disclosed that it continues to supply between 40 million and 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) daily through January and February, subject to market demand. It added that on January 4 alone, the refinery produced 50 million litres of PMS and evacuated 48 million litres, with existing stocks sufficient to cover more than 20 days of national consumption.
The company clarified that routine maintenance currently being carried out on select units has no impact on overall output, stressing that production of PMS, diesel, and Jet A-1 continues through fully operational processing units.
Dangote Refinery also maintained that its ex-gantry price remains N699 per litre, noting that the price applies equally to all marketers and bulk consumers without discrimination. The refinery urged stakeholders to patronise locally refined, high-quality petroleum products.
Reaffirming its position, the company advised Nigerians to disregard unverified claims regarding a shutdown and rely only on credible sources of information. It reiterated its commitment to steady supply, price stability, and the strengthening of Nigeria’s energy security.
