Dangote Refinery Expands Nationwide Fuel Distribution with Free Delivery Initiative
Dangote Refinery has intensified its efforts to improve fuel availability in Nigeria, rolling out a nationwide distribution program that provides free logistics support to registered marketers, dealers, and large-scale consumers. The program, which officially began on August 15, 2025, has been operational for nearly a month, marking a significant step in addressing fuel supply challenges across the country. The refinery, one of Africa’s largest private petroleum facilities, has deployed around 4,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tankers to support the initiative. According to company sources, the move is aimed at ensuring efficient delivery, lowering distribution costs, and minimizing the role of intermediaries in fuel supply chains. Industry analysts highlight that this direct-to-dealer approach could reduce bottlenecks in the petroleum market and contribute to stabilizing fuel prices nationwide. By eliminating layers of middlemen, Dangote Refinery seeks to enhance transparency in fuel distribution while making the products more accessible to end-users. Despite circulating reports suggesting that the refinery will commence “free petrol delivery” starting September 15, there is no official confirmation from Dangote Refinery regarding this specific date. Stakeholders are encouraged to register for the ongoing free logistics program to benefit from the distribution initiative currently in effect. The refinery’s expansion into direct distribution reflects its broader mission to bolster Nigeria’s energy security, reduce dependency on imported fuels, and provide affordable petroleum products to citizens. Officials have urged the public to rely only on verified announcements from Dangote Refinery or reputable media outlets to avoid misinformation. With this initiative, Dangote Refinery is positioning itself to reshape Nigeria’s fuel supply network, promising more reliable delivery, cost savings, and increased accessibility for consumers nationwide.
