Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a major fuel distribution initiative set to begin on August 15, 2025, aimed at transforming Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector.

“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 the distribution network,” the refinery said in a statement on X.

To eliminate logistics bottlenecks and reduce distribution costs, the company offers free logistics support to fuel purchasers as part of the programme. This move is expected to significantly lower fuel costs, especially for key sectors, and ease inflationary pressure.

To support the smooth rollout, Dangote Refinery has invested in 4,000 brand-new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tankers. The company is also building CNG refuelling infrastructure across the country, supported by a fleet of over 100 additional CNG tankers to ensure seamless product movement.

Credit support for high-volume purchases

The refinery, the world’s largest single-train refinery, also announced a credit facility for high-volume buyers. Those purchasing a minimum of 500,000 litres will qualify to receive an additional 500,000 litres on credit for two weeks, backed by a bank guarantee.

The refinery also expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for its continued support, especially through the Naira-for-Crude scheme, which has played a key role in stabilising fuel supply despite global market volatility.
