Dangote's long-held claim that it can supply the whole Nigerian market and have excess for export to other countries was refuted by the NMDPRA assessment.

 The refinery was supposed to supply 35 million liters of gasoline per day between October 2024 and October 2025, however it only averaged 18.03 million liters per day, or about 51.5% of that amount.
