The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced it will begin a free distribution of petrol and diesel to marketers, dealers, and large users nationwide starting August 15, 2025.
In preparation for this initiative, the Lagos-based refinery has acquired 4,000 brand-new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tankers.
Additionally, the refinery will offer a credit facility to those purchasing at least 500,000 liters, allowing them to receive an extra 500,000 liters on a two-week credit term, secured by a bank guarantee.
To ensure seamless distribution, the refinery has also invested in CNG “daughter booster stations” and a fleet of over 100 CNG tankers across the country.
“This strategic programme is part of our broader commitment to eliminating logistics costs, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting sustainability and supporting Nigeria’s economic development.
“It is expected to revitalise previously inactive petrol stations, thereby driving job creation, stimulating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), increasing government revenue, improving fuel access in rural and underserved communities, and strengthening investor confidence in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector.
“This pioneering effort marks a major milestone in our vision to revolutionise Nigeria’s energy sector.
“Dangote Refinery is dedicated to ensuring that no place is left behind. Our goal is to provide equitable access to affordable fuel for all Nigerians, regardless of location, making energy more accessible and sustainable for everyone, wherever they may be,” the refinery stated.
