Dangote Refinery Expands Free Fuel Delivery to Four States

Dangote Petroleum Refinery announced the expansion of its free petroleum products delivery initiative to Kano, Imo, Anambra, and Nasarawa states, aiming to reduce distribution costs for independent petroleum marketers and facilitate lower petrol prices. This initiative, which initially included Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna, Abuja, and Delta states, seeks to bring petroleum products closer to marketers and retailers while eliminating long-distance transportation costs.

Fatima Aliko Dangote, Group Executive Director of Commercial Operations, Oil & Gas, WAEP and Fertiliser at Dangote Industries Limited, stated that the initiative is designed to ensure that the benefits of domestic refining translate into savings for businesses and consumers. Chinedu Ukadike, National Publicity Secretary of IPMAN, welcomed the initiative, noting it addresses financial and logistical pressures faced by marketers.

The refinery's delivery arrangement is expected to improve cash flow for marketers and reduce the duration their funds are tied up, ultimately supporting more competitive fuel prices across Nigeria.
