The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has unveiled a new initiative that will see petrol and diesel delivered at no cost to fuel marketers, distributors, and major consumers throughout Nigeria.
The refinery, located in Lagos, confirmed in a statement on Sunday that the programme is set to launch on 15 August 2025.
To facilitate the scheme, the company has acquired 4,000 newly manufactured tankers powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).

“In addition, the refinery will offer a credit facility to those purchasing a minimum of 500,000 litres—allowing them to obtain an additional 500,000 litres on credit for two weeks, under bank guarantee,” the statement read.
The company added that it has also established several CNG booster (daughter) stations across Nigeria and deployed more than 100 CNG-powered tankers to ensure efficient and wide-reaching fuel distribution.
“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.
