Nigeria is reviewing its oil allocation rules to help local refiners access crude oil more easily.
The country aims to ease supply hurdles for the massive Dangote facility and other domestic processing plants.
High costs and supply bottlenecks have previously squeezed output at Africa’s largest oil refining plant in Lagos.
Under new proposals, local producers could bypass long pipelines and deliver crude directly to nearby processing facilities.
Refiners might also receive price discounts by removing unnecessary freight and handling charges from their purchasing contracts.
Official regulatory data shows that producer compliance with domestic supply obligations recently surged past ninety percent.
Regulators are evaluating these strategic updates to balance crude quality differences and align fair market pricing.
