 Dangote Refinery To Supply 60 Million Litres Of Petrol Weekly To IPMAN To Boost Crude Imports The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reached an agreement to supply 60 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) on a weekly basis, which translates to 240 million litres per month. This comes as the $20bn Lekki-based refinery seeks to raise billions of dollars to import crude oil and increase production to reach its full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. IPMAN National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Ukadike, confirmed that the association is finalizing discussions with Dangote and expects to start lifting PMS from the refinery before the end of November.

The Dangote Refinery, which began limited operations earlier this year, was expected to reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported fuel. However, the scale of recent import costs suggests that local production is yet to meet domestic demand.  


This development adds pressure on the government to address the inefficiencies in the downstream sector and prioritize refining capacity expansion to save costs and strengthen energy security.
