Will gasoline export volumes from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery increase compared to the early June baseline period (June 1–7) before June 15?

Outcome: NO

How this forecast is settled

Export volumes from large-scale refineries are influenced by crude intake consistency, refinery utilization rates, logistics scheduling (port load-outs), and international offtake agreements. Short-window comparisons (such as mid-June versus the first few days of the month) can fluctuate due to batch shipment timing rather than sustained production changes, making week-to-week export increases uneven.

Resolution

NO because Dangote Refinery's gasoline exports did not increase before June 15. Production was still affected by feedstock shortages and technical issues, keeping export volumes lower than earlier expectations. Any recovery was only expected around mid-June, not before the deadline.
