The Dangote Refinery has launched a pilot program to supply 600 million liters of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to 20 accredited depot owners, marking a significant step toward streamlining Nigeria’s downstream petroleum distribution.
Following extensive discussions with major downstream operators, the initiative aims to establish an organized supply framework, enhance market stability, and improve logistical efficiency.
Under the program, running from October 10 to October 31, each of the 20 depot owners will collect 30 million liters of PMS exclusively from the refinery’s truck loading area and marine terminals.
To ensure smooth operations, only accredited partners are involved, allowing the refinery to track product movement and simplify handling processes during this pilot phase.
The refinery has set its gantry price at ₦877 per liter, reflecting revised distribution costs and adherence to a regulated sales framework.
The participating companies include NNPCL Retail, A.Y.M. Shafa, A.A. Rano, Salbas Energy, Northwest Petroleum, Rainoil, Ardova, Optima Energy, Masters Energy, Bovas Group, Dan Marna Petroleum, NIPCO Plc, Pinnacle Oil and Gas, Heyden Petroleum, Sunbeth Global Concepts, Mainland Oil and Gas, NEPAL Oil and Gas Services, MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, Conoil Plc, and TotalEnergies.
Designed as a prototype for a broader commercial rollout, the program focuses solely on PMS.
Industry stakeholders view this as a pivotal move to stabilize supply chains and optimize distribution, with the pilot’s outcomes expected to shape the refinery’s future operations.
