The refinery clarified that intermittent sales of Residual Catalytic Oil are part of normal business operations, often involving large parcel sales. According to the management, “The refinery consistently supplies over 40 million litres of PMS daily, alongside steady volumes of diesel, stating that these supplies continue unabated, despite speculation suggesting otherwise.

The refinery attributed its ability to maintain uninterrupted operations to its advanced predictive and preventive maintenance protocols. “As the world’s largest single-train petroleum refinery, the facility employs advanced predictive and preventive maintenance protocols to ensure uninterrupted operations. Routine maintenance activities are standard and do not impact the overall fuel supply,” the statement read.

In response to speculation about potential supply shortages and price increases, the refinery challenged those spreading the rumours to place orders for daily deliveries. “To those who believe this misinformation and anticipate a bullish market, we extend a challenge: We invite interested buyers to place immediate orders for up to 40 million litres of PMS daily and 15 million litres of AGO daily for the next 90 days,” the statement said.

The refinery reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and Nigeria’s energy security, urging the public to disregard unfounded rumours. “We urge the public to disregard unfounded rumours sponsored by unscrupulous and unpatriotic individuals seeking to undermine the country’s energy independence for their selfish interests, including the importation of substandard fuels under the false pretext of domestic supply shortages.”
