Nigerians have expressed concerns over the continued importation of petrol by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), despite the reported operational resumption of local refineries.
The NNPCL recently announced that the Warri Refining & Petrochemicals Company (WRPC), with a refining capacity of 125,000 barrels per day, is now functional.
In August 2024, Dangote Refinery commenced the supply of jet fuel and diesel to domestic marketers across Nigeria while in November, Aliko Dangote completed the refinery with a $20 billion investment, positioning it as a key player in the country’s energy sector.
