Dangote refinery expands free fuel delivery to four states

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has expanded its free fuel delivery initiative to four additional states - Kano, Imo, Anambra, and Nasarawa - in a move aimed at reducing distribution costs for independent petroleum marketers and potentially lowering petrol prices across Nigeria. Initially covering six states, the expanded program seeks to bring petroleum products closer to marketers and retailers, while eliminating the costs associated with transporting products over long distances.

Dangote's Commercial Operations Director, Fatima Aliko Dangote, emphasized the initiative's goal of ensuring the benefits of domestic refining are felt by businesses and consumers, eliminating one of the major expenses in the distribution chain. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria welcomed the expansion, noting that it will alleviate financial and logistical pressures on marketers and contribute to lower prices for consumers.
