The Dangote Group, one of Africa’s largest industrial conglomerates founded by Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, has announced a new supply initiative aimed at easing operational challenges faced by petrol station owners and fuel dealers across Nigeria, West Africa’s most populous country and largest economy.
The company disclosed that the initiative includes a ten-day credit facility backed by a bank guarantee, alongside free direct delivery services, as part of a broader effort to stabilize fuel distribution and improve access to petroleum products for downstream operators.
In a statement published on its official account on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, the group invited petrol station owners and licensed fuel dealers nationwide to register for the supply arrangement and take advantage of the incentives.
According to the statement, dealers who enroll in the programme will benefit from “a ten-day credit facility backed by a bank guarantee,” with a stipulated minimum order volume of 5,000 litres of petrol. The company also confirmed that direct delivery to registered stations will be offered at no additional cost.
“Our free direct delivery service will commence soon,” the Dangote Group stated, emphasizing that the opportunity is open to “all petrol station owners and dealers” operating within Nigeria’s fuel distribution network.
Okay News reports that the group encouraged operators to promptly complete registration for their stations in order to access what it described as competitive pricing and reliable supply under the new framework.
“Register your petrol stations today to benefit from our competitive gantry price,” the statement added.
The company further revealed that petrol supplied under the arrangement will be sold at a gantry price of ₦699 per litre, a figure that reflects a significant reduction in recent fuel pricing trends across the country.
For further enquiries, the Dangote Group provided contact numbers including 0802-347-0470, 0809-324-7070, 0809-324-7071, and 0203, urging interested operators to seek clarification where necessary.
The announcement follows a recent price adjustment by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, a privately owned refinery located in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, which plays a growing role in the country’s domestic fuel supply.
The refinery recently reduced its ex-depot petrol price from ₦828 per litre to ₦699 per litre, representing a ₦129 reduction, equivalent to a 15.58 percent decrease.
An official of the refinery, who requested anonymity due to authorization restrictions, confirmed the development, stating, “The refinery has reduced petrol gantry price to ₦699 per litre.”
The new pricing reportedly took effect on Wednesday, December 11, 2025, and marked the twentieth petrol price adjustment announced by the refinery within the year, highlighting the volatility and evolving nature of Nigeria’s downstream petroleum market.
