Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Limited is set to commence direct fuel distribution to marketers and critical sectors of the economy on August 15, with over 25 marketers already signed up for the deal. The refinery plans to use its fleet of 4,000 Compressed Natural Gas trucks to supply Premium Motor Spirit and diesel directly to petroleum marketers, retail dealers, manufacturers, and major players in the telecommunications and aviation industries.
A senior executive at Dangote Group confirmed the development, saying, “Yes, more marketers are now registering with us ahead of the planned distribution of petroleum products using 4,000 trucks. Right now, the number of strategic partners has grown to 25. We started with three partners, but now it has jumped to 25 partners.
The move is expected to significantly impact pump prices and ease logistics challenges, especially in northern Nigeria. However, tanker drivers have expressed concerns over potential job losses due to the direct supply of fuel.
The refinery’s growing influence in the downstream sector has sparked debates around market dominance, regulation, and the long-term impact on local competition. Despite this, industry stakeholders seem to be aligning with the refinery’s plan, with the number of strategic partners surging from three to 25.
