Nigerian marketers have confirmed that they have received new fuel import licences from the Federal Government for the third quarter of 2026. This development is expected to ensure a stable supply of petroleum products across the nation.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has denied allegations made by S&P Global that Nigerian marketers are re-importing its fuel through Togo, labeling the claims as "unfounded and misleading." The company aims to clarify the situation surrounding the distribution of its fuel products.

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has granted new fuel import permits to seven major oil marketers amid rising concerns about domestic fuel supply levels. This approval is part of a fresh round of permits for the third quarter of 2026, aimed at ensuring adequate fuel availability in the country, according to Vanguard Business.
