The Dangote Refinery has announced it will commence a free fuel distribution scheme on Monday, starting in Lagos, the South West, Abuja, Kwara, Delta, Rivers, and Edo States.

Alongside the initiative, petrol prices will be reduced to N841 per litre in Lagos and the South West, and N851 per litre in Abuja and the other listed states.The programme, initially scheduled for August but delayed due to logistics challenges in China, will roll out with over 1,000 trucks already received. More states are expected to benefit as additional trucks arrive.

According to the company, the refinery is also deploying 10,000 CNG-powered trucks this year to strengthen distribution and cut costs, despite recent spikes in CNG prices.
