Dangote Refinery fulfills promise, barely three months after, rolls out 4000 CNG powered trucks as over 42m MSMEs are set to benefit

Dangote Refinery fulfilled  promise, three months after, make delivery of 4000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered trucks across Nigeria.


Just as it cut price of PMS by N30.00 from N850 to N820.


Speaking on the rollout, Group Chief of Branding and Communication, Dangote Industries Limited, Mr Anthony Chiejina, provided further insights into the implementation strategy, saying,

"The commencement of the initiative marks a groundbreaking development in Nigeria’s fuel distribution network. Given the complexities inherent in global supply chains, the delivery of these specialised CNG-powered tankers is indeed commendable. This approach ensures that we maintain operational efficiency while scaling up the fleet."


This innovative distribution model is expected to catalyse efficiency gains across Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector, fostering greater transparency, reducing transportation bottlenecks, and ultimately enhancing energy security for the nation.


Similarly, the Vice President, Oil and Gas, Dangote Industries Ltd, Devakumar Edwin, while  addressing Labour Writers Association of Nigeria (LAWAN) and Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), led by Lagos State Council Chairman, Comrade Funmi Sessi, after tour of the refinery on Tuesday 12 August 2025, explained the main reason for this is to show that the President Aliko Dangote is interested on  how to add more value to Nigerians alone.


Edwin stated that "The fleet of fuel tankers, being imported through Apapa Port, represents a significant capital investment estimated at N720 billion. This expenditure underscores the company’s commitment to pioneering innovative solutions as the world’s largest single-train refinery continues to expand its operational capabilities.


"The first consignment of trucks recently departed Apapa Port and was formally received at the refinery site in Ibeju-Lekki. The arrival was met with enthusiasm from refinery personnel and customers alike, many of whom were present to witness the tangible progress towards improved fuel accessibility."


It would be recalled that Dangote Petroleum Refinery, in June, revealed a landmark investment exceeding N720 billion to deploy 4,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered trucks across Nigeria for the nationwide distribution of petroleum products. This bold initiative is projected to save Nigerians over N1.7 trillion annually in fuel distribution costs.


The privately owned refinery will absorb more than N1.07 trillion every year in fuel logistics expenses. The scheme is expected to significantly benefit over 42 million Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by lowering energy costs and improving profitability.


This strategic programme is part of Dangote’s broader commitment to eliminating logistics bottlenecks, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting environmental sustainability, and supporting Nigeria’s economic development. This scheme will also  lower fuel distribution costs, alleviate inflationary pressures, and stimulate overall economic growth.


The initiative is also expected to revitalise dormant filling stations, creating over 15,000 direct jobs across the logistics value chain, including positions for drivers, station managers, and attendants at the new CNG stations.


Moreover, the refinery said that the programme would help curb cross-border smuggling of petroleum products while supporting a more efficient and environmentally friendly distribution system. Commercial Coordinator of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI), Tosin Coker, commended the move:


“Dangote Group’s acquisition of 4,000 CNG trucks is not only impressive in scale but also highly strategic,” he said. “It signals to the market that CNG is no longer a distant prospect but a current, practical solution to high energy costs, emissions, and supply chain challenges. PCNGI regards this as a milestone achievement in our efforts to accelerate gas-powered transport adoption.”
