Nigeria to stop importing petrol products in mid-2023 – Kyari

The group chief executive officer (GCEO), Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari has revealed that the country will stop importing petroleum products by mid-2023. 

Kyari made this known during a press briefing at the state house in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said the blend of output from the Dangote refinery which is slated to commence next year and state-owned refineries would replace the importation of petroleum products into the country.

He disclosed that NNPC has a 20 per cent equity in the Dangote Refinery and has a first right refusal to supply crude oil to the plant.

Kyari added that due to the country’s population and the increasing demand from the middle class, the volume of petrol in the country has jumped up.

“Even if all our four refineries in three locations are operating at 90% of installed capacity, they will only be able to raise 18 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). That means even if all of them are working today, you would still have a net deficit of PMS to import into this country,” he said.

“But we saw this energy transition challenge coming. We knew that time will come where you would look for people to buy your crude and you will not find,” he said.

“And that means we have locked down ability to sell crude oil for 33,000 barrels minimum by right for the next 20 years and by right also we have access to 20 percent of the production from that plant.”

“The combination of that and our ability to bring back our refinery will eliminate any importation of petroleum products into this country next year. You would not see any importation into this country next year.”

“This is very practical. As a matter of fact, when we are done with our own refineries and the Dangote refinery, there remain other small initiatives that we are doing, small modular condensate refineries that we are building. If that happens and we are very optimistic it will happen, you would see that this country will now be a net exporter.

Kyari noted that the Dangote refinery can produce up to 50 million litres of PMS, adding that they will start producing by the middle of next year.

“As a matter of fact, it will be a hub for the export of petroleum products, not just to the West African sub-region. This will happen. The flow of supply will change by the middle of next year, it will change. You will not need the importation of petroleum products into this country by the middle of next year,” Kyari said.
