The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced it will commence free distribution of petrol and diesel to marketers, dealers, and bulk users nationwide from August 15, 2025.
As part of the rollout, the refinery has acquired 4,000 brand-new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tankers and invested in CNG “daughter booster stations” alongside a fleet of 100 CNG tankers to ease distribution across the country.
Additionally, a credit facility will be available to marketers purchasing at least 500,000 litres, granting them an extra 500,000 litres on a two-week credit backed by a bank guarantee.
According to the company, this initiative aims to cut logistics costs, promote sustainability, boost fuel availability in rural areas, reactivate idle petrol stations, stimulate SMEs, and create jobs while strengthening investor confidence in Nigeria’s downstream oil 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.
