DAPPMAN Slams Dangote Refinery Over Alleged Deceptive Fuel Scheme

DAPPMAN has criticized Dangote Refinery for allegedly running a deceptive fuel distribution scheme, labeling it a scam aimed at monopolizing the downstream sector. The association accuses the refinery of misleading practices, including a fuel delivery scheme that restricts operational flexibility and inflates costs for marketers.

DAPPMAN's statement follows backlash from NUPENG, which accused the refinery of anti-competitive actions. Dangote's purported CNG truck distribution plan has been denounced as exploitative, giving the refinery undue control over the value chain.

The accusations highlight growing tensions within Nigeria's oil sector, with concerns over fair competition and market manipulation. DAPPMAN calls for transparency and fair practices in the fuel distribution industry.
