Dangote Refinery Exports Surpass Domestic Fuel Supply at 54.6m Litres Daily.
Data from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority’s (NMDPRA) September 2026 Fact Sheet showed that the refinery’s combined exports increased by 14.85 million litres per day from 39.78 million litres per day in August 2026, representing a month-on-month increase of 37.33 per cent.
In contrast, the refinery’s combined domestic receipts declined by 22.08 per cent to 39.98 million litres per day from 51.31 million litres per day in August.
This means exports exceeded domestic receipts by about 14.65 million litres per day in September, reversing the position in August, when domestic receipts were 11.53 million litres per day higher than exports.
In the fact sheet, the refinery’s output was split into three uses: domestic receipts, which are volumes received into the Nigerian market; exports; and changes in refinery stock. Domestic receipts and exports together make up the refinery’s evacuation. The shift occurred even as the refinery increased output. Combined production of diesel and aviation fuel rose by 15.68 per cent to 97.67 million litres per day in September from 84.43 million litres per day in August.
