Energy security concerns rise as Dangote Refinery falls short of daily petrol supply

Dangote Refinery is falling short of its commitment to deliver 25 million litres of petrol to the nation daily for September, sources familiar with the matter have told PREMIUM TIMES.

This newspaper learnt that rather than deliver 75 million litres in three days, the refinery was only able to supply 10,297,766 (about 10.3 million litres) through its gantry loading system.

With that figure, the refinery demonstrated a supply shortfall of almost 65 million litres in three days, a situation experts say is capable of threatening the nation’s energy security.
