Fuel Supply and Market Impact
These tanker movements indicate a steady flow of petroleum products into Nigeria’s downstream sector, addressing supply gaps and reinforcing distribution networks. Dangote Refinery’s crude intake, alongside PMS deliveries in Warri and Calabar, is expected to stabilise retail fuel supply.
However, depot pricing remains subject to global oil market trends and forex volatility. Industry analysts will continue to monitor developments to assess the impact of these deliveries on fuel availability and pricing in the coming weeks.
