Dangote Petroleum Refinery has launched the first phase of a free petrol delivery programme covering six Nigerian states.
Marketers purchasing a minimum of 250,000 litres qualify for free delivery and a 10-day credit facility under the scheme.
The refinery said the six-state rollout is part of its Vision 2030 strategy, with more states to be added in later phases.
The Refinery has begun delivering petrol directly to fuel marketers in six states at no delivery cost, as part of a broader strategy to strengthen fuel distribution across Nigeria.
The first phase of the programme covers Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna, Delta, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The refinery said further states will be brought into the scheme as rollout progresses. Dangote Refinery introduces logistics support for fuel marketers with free petrol transportation.
Petrol under the initiative will be sold at the refinery’s existing gantry price of N1,215 per litre.
In addition to free delivery, qualifying marketers will also receive access to a 10-day credit facility, allowing them to take delivery before full payment is due.
The programme is currently open only to marketers who purchase a minimum of 250,000 litres per order, making it primarily accessible to large-volume distributors and bulk fuel buyers. The refinery said the combination of direct delivery and deferred payment is designed to ease logistics burdens on marketers, cut down on transportation costs, and improve the flow of petroleum products across the covered states.
Dangote Refinery linked the initiative to its Vision 2030: Accelerating Africa’s Industrialisation agenda, a long-term plan aimed at improving Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector and contributing to broader industrial development goals across Africa through better energy supply and distribution.
The launch follows a period of increased activity at the refinery, which had earlier resumed petrol sales priced in naira and ramped up supplies to the local market.
