The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has disclosed that petrol supply from the Dangote Refinery fell below its projected output in November.
The regulator made this known in its November 2025 State of the Midstream and Downstream Fact Sheet, released recently, which provides an overview of activities and performance across Nigeria’s petroleum supply chain.
According to the report, the Dangote Refinery supplied an average of 23.52 million litres of petrol per day during the month under review, a figure that was lower than the volume earlier projected for the period.
NMDPRA did not, however, detail the specific factors responsible for the shortfall, nor did it state the initial production target set for the refinery in November. The authority noted that monitoring of domestic refining output remains ongoing as part of efforts to ensure stability in fuel supply nationwide.
The Dangote Refinery, Africa’s largest single-train refinery, is central to Nigeria’s strategy to reduce dependence on imported petroleum products and improve energy security. Any variation in its output is closely watched by regulators, industry players, and consumers, given its potential impact on fuel availability and pricing.
NMDPRA reiterated its commitment to transparency through the regular publication of its fact sheets, which track production, supply, imports, and distribution trends in the midstream and downstream petroleum sectors.
