- The refinery evacuates over 1,000 trucks daily, with plans to scale polypropylene production to 2.4 million tonnes annually.

- The refinery's crude supply is 30-40% from the crude-for-naira programme.
Production and Distribution
Dangote Petroleum Refinery Plc has achieved a daily offtake of 50 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), ensuring consistent fuel supply even during peak holiday periods. The refinery evacuates over 1,000 trucks daily, with the capacity to export excess volumes when domestic demand is lower.
Economic Impact
Stable and relatively lower fuel prices from domestic refining contribute to broader economic stability and support for the naira. The refinery produces Euro 5 standard fuels, exporting gasoline to Europe and jet fuel to markets like Dubai.
Expansion Plans
Dangote Refinery is investing in expanding refining capacity and petrochemicals, aiming to increase polypropylene production to 2.4 million tonnes annually. This expansion is expected to strengthen domestic manufacturing and create a large industrial ecosystem.
Supply Chain and Logistics
About 4,000 trucks are on site, with a full rollout of free trucking pending a computerised security system for accurate delivery. The refinery's crude supply is 30-40% from the crude-for-naira programme, which helps stabilize the naira.
