Lagos, Nigeria — In a major development for the country’s fuel sector, Dangote Refinery has officially confirmed that it will begin distribution of fuel across Nigeria starting today. The rollout involves its fleet of trucks delivering Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and diesel directly to marketers, petrol stations, and bulk users such as manufacturers and telecom companies.
The initiative was originally scheduled for August 15, 2025, when the refinery planned to deploy as many as 4,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered tankers to boost the efficiency and reach of its product delivery network.
Under the programme, Dangote says it will provide free logistics support for gasoline and diesel distribution to ease access and lower costs.
This move is expected to have ripple effects across the downstream petroleum sector, potentially improving fuel availability, reducing delays at stations, cutting logistics costs, and helping to stabilize prices. Marketers and consumers are being urged to monitor updates from Dangote and relevant distributors to find out when deliveries will reach their areas.
As with all ambitious rollouts, actual timing and coverage will depend on logistics, road conditions, and coordination with local authorities. But today marks the official start of Dangote Refinery’s much-anticipated national distribution of fuel.
