Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has clarified its position following reports referencing data released by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), which suggested that the refinery rejected 15.5 million barrels of crude oil offered by local producers in the second quarter of 2026.
In a statement issued last night by Dangote Group, the company emphasised that it remains fully committed to sourcing Nigerian crude oil and supporting the objectives of the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation (DCSO) framework.
