Dangote Refinery has announced the delivery of its first shipment of compressed natural gas trucks to facilitate its nationwide premium motor spirit and automotive gas oil supply from August 15, 2025.
The 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery disclosed this in a statement by its spokesperson, Anthony Chijiena, on Sunday.
According to him, the refinery, the N720 billion worth investment scheme, is aimed at transforming Nigeria’s fuel distribution landscape by reducing logistics costs and enhancing supply efficiency for customers.
“The fleet of fuel tankers, being imported through Apapa Port, represents a significant capital investment estimated at N720 billion.
“The first consignment of trucks recently departed Apapa Port and was formally received at the refinery site in Ibeju-Lekki by the Vice-President of Oil and Gas at Dangote Industries Ltd., Devakumar Edwin,” the statement reads.
Recall that Dangote Refinery had announced that the fuel distribution scheme would cause a major shakeup in the country’s oil and gas downstream sector.
