ReutersSep 4, 2025 12:24 PM

Sept 4 (Reuters) - The gasoline unit at Nigeria's 650,000 barrel-per-day Dangote refinery may be shut for 2-3 months for repairs, a source said citing a client note from IIR Energy on Thursday.

The 204,000 bpd Residue Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (RFCCU) was forced to shutdown on August 29 and a tentative restart is planned for September 20.

However, it may remain shutdown for longer to complete major repairs and equipment replacements that were previously scheduled for December 2025, the note said.

Dangote did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
