To support this effort, the refinery has procured 4,000 new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tankers to enhance delivery capacity and improve fuel accessibility nationwide. Additionally, the company plans to establish daughter booster CNG stations and deploy a dedicated fleet of over 100 CNG tankers to ensure seamless distribution.
The refinery will provide free product delivery as part of this logistics support to eliminate distribution bottlenecks and reduce operational costs in key economic sectors. A credit facility is also available for bulk buyers purchasing 500,000 litres or more, allowing them to obtain an additional 500,000 litres on credit for two weeks under bank guarantee.
This strategicprogramme aims to revitalize dormant filling stations, stimulate small businesses, reduce inflationary pressures, and support the Nigerian government’s economic reform agenda. The refinery emphasized its commitment to enhancing energy efficiency, promoting sustainability, and fostering equitable access to affordable fuel for all Nigerians, including rural and underserved communities.
Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group, described the initiative as part of a broader overhaul of the downstream petroleum sector, distinct from price reductions. The announcement follows a recent visit by President Bola Tinubu to the $20 billion refinery in Lekki, Lagos.
The move also comes amid a threat by Lagos tanker drivers to halt petroleum product loading due to the high cost of the E-Call Up system on the Lekki-Epe Corridor.
Registration for the programme, including Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, will run from June 16 to August 15, 2025. The refinery encourages stakeholders to participate in this transformative effort to revolutionize Nigeria’s fuel distribution landscape and support economic growth.
