.Lift 148.463m liters from Dangote Refinery in 10 weeks
Nigeria’s petrol supply chain is shifting as members of the Major Energy Marketers Association of Nigeria (MEMAN) or major oil marketers have suspended petrol importation, now fully relying on supplies from the Dangote Refinery.
According to the chief executive officer, MEMAN, Clement Isong, MEMAN members have licenses to import PMS introduced by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), but have in recent time relied on local supply from Dangote Refinery due to the competitive market framework already in place.
Speaking during the quarterly webinar organised by the association for energy editors, Isong, represented by Ogechi Nkwoji, Head of Economic Intelligence Research Regulation, noted that products lifted from Dangote Refinery were transported via trucks and vessels to marketers’ facilities in Lagos, highlighting the operational flexibility within the supply chain.
