Friday, September 12, 2025 - The Dangote Petroleum Refinery is set to begin the rollout of compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered trucks on Monday, 15th September, as part of its logistics-free distribution programme aimed at significantly reducing fuel prices across Nigeria.
In a statement released by the company, the initiative will
see the gantry price reduced to N820 per litre, with corresponding lower pump
prices in several key states. Lagos and other South-Western states will see
fuel retailing at N841 per litre, while Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Edo, and Kwara
states will sell at N851 per litre.
The first phase of the deployment will cover the Federal
Capital Territory, Lagos, Kwara, Delta, Edo, Rivers and South West states, with
nationwide expansion planned as additional trucks are delivered.
This transition to CNG-powered transportation is expected to
save the Nigerian economy over N1.8 trillion annually.
Dangote Group is investing over N720 billion into the
programme, which is also anticipated to revitalise dormant filling stations
across the country. The project is expected to create numerous direct
employment opportunities, including roles for truck drivers, filling station
managers, and fuel attendants.
The company has called on stakeholders, including fuel
station operators, telecommunications companies, and large-scale fuel consumers
to partner with the initiative to ensure its success and maximise its economic
impact.
