Dangote Refinery begins nationwide distribution Of PMS & Diesel by August by iwaeda(op): 6:10pm On Jun 15, 2025
DANGOTE PETROLEUM REFINERY TO BEGIN DISTRIBUTION OF PMS AND DIESEL NATIONWIDE

...Deploys 4,000 CNG Tankers To Enhance Distribution Network Nationwide

…Offer open to Marketers, Petrol Dealers, Manufacturers, Telecoms Firms, Aviation and other large users


Dangote Petroleum Refinery is pleased to announce the commencement of a significant national initiative designed to transform Nigeria’s fuel distribution landscape. Effective 15th of August 2025, the Refinery will begin the distribution of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and diesel to marketers, petrol dealers, manufacturers, telecoms firms, aviation, and other large users across the country, with free logistics to boost distribution network.

To ensure smooth take-off of this scheme, Dangote Refinery has invested in the procurement of 4,000 brand-new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tankers. This phase of the programme will continue over an extended timeframe. The refinery is also investing in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations, commonly referred to as daughter booster stations, supported by a fleet of over 100 CNG tankers across the country to ensure seamless product 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 affirms our dedication to improving the availability and affordability of fuel, in support of broader efforts to strengthen the economy and improve the well-being of all Nigerians.

Under this initiative, all petrol stations purchasing PMS and diesel from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery will benefit from this enhanced logistics support. Key sectors such as manufacturing, telecommunications, and others will also gain from this transformative initiative, as reduced fuel costs will contribute to lower production costs, reduced inflation, and foster economic growth. Players in these key sectors and others can purchase directly from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

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.

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.

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.

This initiative is inline with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, reflecting our shared commitment to economic progress, stability, and inclusive development. We sincerely thank the Federal Government for its continued support, especially through the Naira-for-Crude scheme, which has helped stabilise fuel supply amid global price volatility. It marks a major revolution in the midstream and downstream sectors and stands as a key example of President Bola Tinubu’s bold and reformative economic policies.

We invite marketers, petrol dealers, manufacturers, telecom companies, and all key stakeholders to embrace this landmark initiative. The registration process, including Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, will take place from 16 June to 15 August, spanning a total of 60 days. For enquiries, please call +234 707 470 2099, +234 707 470 2100, +234 816 961 8390, +234 703 796 8308, +234 812 362 2893. Email: Email: sales.enquiry@dangote.com.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery remains a proud partner in this national journey— a truly Nigerian company of global standards, dedicated to the well-being of all Nigerians.

CNG reduces costs very well. That's the main thing

But the answer is railways and pipeline

Hope the prices will come down ? The current price is way too costly. Excuse has always been exporty crude for refining. Now, we still paying heavily for locally refined products.

cool To ask Alhaji for free 500000 liters dey hungry me but I am waiting for him to offset this his refinery loan ...I think the initiative is good , as it allows moribund petrol stations to come alive, allow for leasing without added cost of trucking, Telcos can get diesel to remote locations..most importantly it creates new job for Truckers ...

Re: Dangote Refinery begins nationwide distribution Of PMS & Diesel by August by Dogalmighty17: 8:17pm On Jun 15, 2025
It was only a matter of time. With marketers planning to import fuel to sell at 700 naira, dangote would have been stupid not to embark on some form of retailing.

Let's analyse this further. Dangote has signed a deal to import 5000 units of CNG trucks. This means his costs of transport will be far cheaper than using diesel. Will he pass on the savings to consumers? If he does, IPMAN and MOMAN will be facing a very major challenge.

CNG trucks are the game changer. Dangote may bury independent marketers for good if he does this. But then again, he is dangote and profit maximisation is drives him. He may still keep fuel prices high even though he has the mechanism to drop prices.
Re: Dangote Refinery begins nationwide distribution Of PMS & Diesel by August by Mandate1: 8:17pm On Jun 15, 2025
I won't be surprise the govt might be initiating this to cushion the effect of fuel cost. Election is coming, new strategies springing up. I hope tomorrow dey won't tell us another story of how this is being subsidised? Keep the Greek gift, Nigerians ain't interested.

if you can't stand the heat then, leave the kitchen. You can't expect someone who has been running a refinery for over a year not to go into distribution especially someone running something so massive as Dangote refinery. Many other marketers have modular refinery licenses but they opted to import instead of investing in the refinery and going into production. Dangote should feast abeg

Dangote has received lots of beneficial economic incentives from Bola Tinubu administration. Remember that he said by the time the impact of the the reforms is being felt by Nigerians, Aso Rock will become a pilgrimage. Now if the international price of petrol goes up to $300 it won't affect Nigeria because a genius economist called Asiwaju approved the Naira for crude. May God bless those who never voted for that packaged fraud emergency Messiah and their unborn generation forever, and may God forgive those of us who didn't vote at all because we lost hope in the system. Amen. I might vote again in the next election for the first time since 1993 if Asiwaju continues these reforms
Re: Dangote Refinery begins nationwide distribution Of PMS & Diesel by August by EPIJOE: 8:19pm On Jun 15, 2025
Seems monopoly, but if it brings price of petrol down to 600/liters
Diesel #600/liters
Gas #500/kg .

We would be happy
Re: Dangote Refinery begins nationwide distribution Of PMS & Diesel by August by ElevationD: 8:19pm On Jun 15, 2025
That’s good. However, did the refinery consider collaborating with the federal government to connect other parts of the country using pipelines? At least, that should reduce the risks of trucks having accidents on the roads and costing lives and properties. Some Dangote truck drivers are known to be quite reckless on the highways. Also it should reduce the time frame for delivery of products nationwide.
Re: Dangote Refinery begins nationwide distribution Of PMS & Diesel by August by sanya4good(m): 8:22pm On Jun 15, 2025
This is the game changer that will kick the Independent Petroleum Marketers out of business. I want to see how they will keep importing petrol into Nigeria with this new initiative from Dangote.
