Located at Dockyard Road, Apapa, Lagos, NIPCO's Depot Division is one of Nigeria's most strategically located petroleum storage and distribution terminals. Established in 1988, the terminal enjoys direct access to the Apapa jetty — ensuring a reliable, efficient supply chain for white petroleum products across Nigeria.
The facility spans 9.5 hectares and is equipped with a state-of-the-art 10-point automated truck loading gantry capable of loading up to 12 million litres of petroleum products per day. Total nameplate storage capacity stands at 76 million litres, serving as a major distribution hub for premium motor spirit (PMS), automotive gas oil (AGO) and dual purpose kerosene (DPK).
With an annual throughput exceeding 1.9 billion litres, the NIPCO terminal is among the highest-volume petroleum depots in Nigeria — a testament to our operational efficiency, robust infrastructure and commitment to meeting the nation's energy needs.
