The refinery also noted that its stable pricing helps cushion businesses, transport operators, manufacturers, and households. It underscored its role in supporting energy affordability within Nigeria's downstream sector.

The company confirmed it continues to operate amidst volatility in global crude oil and refined product markets, while also working to ensure an uninterrupted fuel supply across the country.
