Dangote Petroleum Refinery has dismissed reports claiming it is shutting down, describing such claims as false and misleading.
In a statement by Management on Tuesday, the company said production remains ongoing, stable, and uninterrupted. It explained that the refinery continues to supply between 40 and 50 million litres of PMS daily through January and February, depending on market demand.
According to the statement, “On January 4, the refinery produced 50 million litres of PMS and evacuated 48 million litres, with current stocks covering over 20 days of national consumption.”
It added that routine maintenance on select units does not affect overall output, noting that PMS, Diesel, and Jet A-1 production continues through fully operational processing units.
“The refinery maintains an ex-gantry price of N699 per litre, available to all marketers and bulk consumers without discrimination,” the statement said. It urged stakeholders to patronise locally refined products and disregard false reports of a shutdown.
