The Dangote Refinery imported 1.46 billion litres of intermediates and gasoline blendstock between January and May.
Despite increased crude oil access, the refinery continues to rely on imported intermediates to maintain and optimize gasoline output.
Average daily gasoline production in May was 44.7 million litres, with a capacity utilization rate of 101.25%.
Imported fuel is used as a secondary feedstock, mixed with other refinery streams to ensure gasoline meets quality and environmental standards.
