Dangote Refinery remains operational and open for business. Recent rumors suggesting a shutdown triggered an official response from the company, published via its verified Instagram channel, making one point clear: production is stable and uninterrupted.
Maintenance on individual units, a normal feature of large-scale industrial systems, has been misread as disruption. In reality, the refinery’s integrated design allows maintenance without halting output. Verified figures replace guesswork: tens of millions of litres of Premium Motor Spirit supplied daily, stock levels covering weeks of national consumption, and continuous evacuation of product.
At an ex-gantry price of ₦699 per litre and daily supply volumes that materially influence market stability, the refinery is reshaping Nigeria’s energy narrative—from import dependence to domestic capacity. With plans to scale monthly supply to 1.7 billion litres from February 2026, the implication is long-term energy security, pricing confidence, and strategic leverage.
