Dangote Refinery and other local refineries have yet to acquire crude oil in Naira, despite a recent directive from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Eche Idoko, the Publicity Secretary of the Crude Oil Refiners Association of Nigeria, revealed this information in a statement issued on Tuesday.

Idoko explained that, following the President’s directive last week, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) was expected to initiate the process.

However, the refineries have not yet begun purchasing crude from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC). While individual refinery members have submitted requests to NNPC, no progress has been made in this regard.

Idoko also pointed out that the usual protocol would involve the NMDPRA organizing a meeting with all relevant stakeholders to establish a framework for crude oil supply.

Alternatively, NNPC would need to address the numerous requests from the refineries for crude.

Last month, President Tinubu instructed NNPCL to provide crude oil to the Dangote Refinery, which has a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, along with other local refineries.

This directive was aimed at ensuring the country meets its domestic production target of 450,000 barrels per day, as stipulated by the Petroleum Industry Act.

The President’s intervention was intended to resolve the ongoing crude supply issues faced by the Dangote Refinery.
