Dangote Petroleum Refinery has denied reports that it is shutting down operations, describing the claims as “false and misleading.”
The refinery stated in a management-signed statement dated January 5, 2026, that production remains stable and uninterrupted, with a daily supply of between 40 million and 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) continuing through January and February, subject to market demand.
“Production remains ongoing, stable, and uninterrupted. The refinery continues to supply 40-50 million litres of PMS daily through January and February, subject to market demand,” Dangote Refinery said.
According to the Dangote Refinery, “On January 4, the refinery produced 50 million litres of PMS and evacuated 48 million litres.”
The company also stated that it has sufficient inventory on hand to meet the country’s needs for more than 20 days.
It also stated that routine maintenance is being carried out on select units, but said the work has no impact on overall output.
According to the refinery, production of PMS, diesel, and Jet A-1 fuel continues through fully operational processing units.
“Routine maintenance on select units does not affect overall output. PMS, diesel, and Jet A-1 production continues through fully operational processing units,” it added.
The refinery said it is maintaining “an ex-gantry price of N699 per litre, available to all marketers and bulk consumers without discrimination.”
It urged stakeholders to patronise locally refined, high-quality products.
“Nigerians are advised to disregard unverified claims and rely on credible information,” it added. “Dangote Petroleum Refinery reaffirmed its commitment to steady supply, price stability, and Nigeria’s energy security.”
