Dangote Petroleum Refinery has rejected claims that its petroleum products are exported to Lomé, Togo, and then re-imported into Nigeria, labeling these allegations as false and not aligned with commercial realities, according to Premium Times Business.

Nigerian motorists could see cheaper petrol once the country's domestic refining industry becomes stronger, more competitive and financially sustainable, according to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). Petrol currently sells at about N1,310 to N1,350 per litre in many parts of Nigeria, after prices rose from previous levels. The regulator's comments link future fuel affordability to the growth and viability of local refining capacity.

Nigeria's Dangote oil refinery, one of the world's largest, is operating at full capacity and supplying refined fuels to Europe, according to Moneyweb. Middle East oil-product supplies have dropped sharply since the start of the war, cutting off key diesel and jet fuel shipments to European markets. The Dangote refinery has stepped in to help fill the resulting supply gap, positioning Nigeria as an important alternative source of refined petroleum products for Europe during the disruption.

Aliko Dangote has launched a public share offer allowing ordinary Nigerians to buy ownership stakes in his refinery, with entry priced at N5,250, according to Tori.ng. The initiative aims to broaden public participation in one of Africa's largest industrial projects. Details on the total shares offered, the offer period, and the refinery's valuation were not provided in the report.

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has denied that gas flare penalty payments into the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF) were under-remitted. According to the regulator, discrepancies identified by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation resulted from timing and reconciliation issues within the Federation Account channel, rather than any shortfall in the remittances themselves.

Filling stations in Nigeria, including MRS, AA Rano, and NIPCO, have decreased petrol prices following a reduction in the ex-depot price by Dangote Refinery to N1,075 per litre. This price cut has provided relief to consumers across the country.
