Nigeria’s domestic petrol supply from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has surged by about 64 percent to an average of 32 million litres per day, following operational improvements at the facility, according to the latest data from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

Figures contained in the NMDPRA’s December 2025 fact sheet show that actual average domestic supply of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) reached 32.01 million litres per day in December, compared with about 19.5 million litres per day recorded in November 2025.

The jump represents one of the strongest monthly improvements in local petrol supply since the commencement of phased operations at the $20 billion Lekki-based refinery.

The increase followed changes in leadership and internal restructuring at the refinery after the exit of Farouk Ahmed as chief executive of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, a period industry stakeholders say coincided with tighter coordination between regulators, operators and off-takers across the downstream value chain.
