Dangote Refinery Establishes New Petrol Purchase Consortium
On October 8, 2026, Dangote Refinery announced the approval of 20 petroleum marketers authorized to buy Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from its facility, implementing a consortium-based structure for petrol distribution in Nigeria. This decision follows the refinery's announcement on October 6, 2026, to cease sales to marketers identified as fuel importers, who were allegedly mixing Dangote's Euro 5 petrol with imported products, raising quality control issues.
The new arrangement aims to enhance oversight of product distribution and address ongoing disputes with parts of Nigeria's downstream sector, including accusations from the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) regarding selective supply practices. The consortium model centralizes purchases among approved partners, moving away from direct sales to the open market, thereby consolidating Dangote Refinery's control over petrol distribution.
