Dangote Refinery Faces Operational Challenges as Petrol Unit Breaks Down, Leading to Higher Prices
Dangote Refinery faces challenges as its petrol-producing unit reportedly breaks down, leading to operational issues and higher petrol prices in Nigeria. The facility's residual fluid catalytic cracker (RFCC) is allegedly broken, impacting crude oil inflow.
The refinery's crude intake dropped sharply in September 2025, affecting its operational capacity. Experts attribute the increased petrol prices to these issues and rising crude prices globally.
Data from Vortexa shows a significant decrease in crude supply to the refinery, impacting its ability to run at optimal capacity. Fitch downgraded the bank financing the refinery, highlighting Nigeria's vulnerability due to the refinery's operational challenges.
