Modular Refineries Struggle to Meet Demand | Nigeria News

Nigeria’s modular refineries barely churned out 18.35 million litres of diesel in July, while imports surged to 244.9 million litres — exposing a gaping reliance on foreign fuel despite domestic refining pushes. While giants like Dangote led output, smaller plants like OPAC barely tickled production and Duport was shut down entirely. Industry insiders blame lack of crude feedstock, saying consistent supply could unlock 10-15% local diesel capacity. Incentives like the naira-for-crude policy remain unextended to these units — a missed chance to scale up local refining and reduce import dependence.
