What happened
The Dangote Group is supplying fuel to the domestic market in Nigeria. Reports show that PMS imports jumped 59.5% in May, despite the Dangote Refinery retaining all its output for local use during that period. The Dangote Refinery has stated that continued issuance of import licenses creates uncertainty in demand planning, leading it to consider exporting excess petrol stocks.

Why it matters
The refinery's output challenges the role of fuel importers, who are accused by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria of pricing imported petrol significantly above the rates offered by the Dangote Group. This situation raises concerns about the effectiveness of the federal government of Nigeria’s import licensing policy.
