Dangote refinery supplied more petrol than importers in August, report says

The Dangote Refinery supplied more petrol to the Nigerian market in August than all importers combined, according to a new report from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, or NMDPRA. The comparison places the refinery’s August supply above the combined volume brought into the market by importers. The supplied material does not provide the quantities behind either side of the comparison.

It also does not say whether the figures refer to deliveries during the entire month, volumes cleared for sale or another measure used by the regulator. No breakdown by importer or destination is available. The report’s finding indicates that the refinery was the larger source of petrol among the two categories identified for that month.

However, the supplied information does not establish whether the result reflects a continuing trend or a change from previous months. The NMDPRA report is the stated basis for the comparison. No additional comment from Dangote Refinery, importers or other market participants was included in the source material.
