Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals says it did not reject domestic crude as reported in recent figures tied to NUPRC data for the second quarter of 2026. The company responds to claims that it turned down 15.5 million barrels offered by local producers, clarifying its stance on crude sourcing.
In its statement, Dangote Refinery says it remains committed to sourcing Nigerian crude and supporting the objectives of the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation (DCSO) framework. The company emphasizes that domestic crude must be available and commercially viable to meet its requirements, linking its acceptance of supplies to commercial feasibility rather than rejecting local output outright.
Across the two outlets, the central point is the same: the refinery addresses the reported rejection figure by stressing its commitment to the DCSO and outlining conditions for sourcing, without offering additional detail in the brief reports on specific shipments or contract terms.
