The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has said that its fuel (Premium Motor Spirit) gantry price remains N850 per litre.
It also dismissed recent reports alleging a shutdown of its operations and reassured the public and market stakeholders that its activities remain fully active and stable.
In statement on Friday by the Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) Anthony Chiejina, the refinery’s management also categorically denied claims that truck loading has been suspended or that production has been interrupted.
He said: “The Dangote Petroleum Refinery is fully operational. There has been no shutdown, nor has there been any suspension of truck loading activities.”
He further clarified that the intermittent sale of Residual Catalytic Oil (RCO) is part of normal business operations, often involving large parcel sales, which explains the recent fuel oil tender.
According to him, Dangote Petroleum Refinery consistently supplies over 40 million litres of PMS daily, alongside steady volumes of Automotive Gas Oil (diesel). These supplies continue unabated, despite speculation suggesting otherwise.
Chiejina said: “As the world’s largest single-train petroleum refinery, the facility employs advanced predictive and preventive maintenance protocols to ensure uninterrupted operations. Routine maintenance activities are standard and do not impact the overall fuel supply.”
In response to speculation about potential supply shortages and price increases, the refinery challenged those sponsoring the rumour to place orders for daily deliveries of up to 40 million litres of PMS and 15 million litres of diesel for the next 90 days.
“To those who believe this misinformation and anticipate a bullish market, we extend a challenge: We invite interested buyers to place immediate orders for up to 40 million litres of PMS daily and 15 million litres of AGO daily, for the next 90 days,” Chiejina said:
He reaffirmed the refinery’s commitment to transparency and Nigeria’s energy security and urged the public to disregard unfounded rumours seeking to undermine the country’s energy independence.
