Dangote Refinery To Begin Free Fuel Distribution On Sept. 15th

The Dangote Refinery will launch its free fuel distribution program on Monday, September 15th, 2025. The initiative will begin in Lagos, then expand to the South West, Abuja, Kwara, Delta, Rivers, and Edo.

The Dangote Group spokesperson, Anthony Chiejina, said the scheme will bring relief to millions of Nigerians by providing fuel at reduced prices.

The Dangote spokesperson said, “We are starting the free fuel distribution scheme on Monday. 

We will start with Lagos and the South West, Abuja, Kwara, Delta, Rivers, and Edo States. There will be a drop in price effective on Monday when the free distribution starts”. 

The refinery has dropped petrol retail prices to N841 per litre in Lagos and the South West, and N851 per litre in Abuja, Edo, Kwara, Rivers, and Delta States. This price reduction is expected to boost economic activity and reduce the financial burden on Nigerians.

Over 1,000 trucks have been received by the refinery to commence the programme, with more states expected to benefit from the scheme as additional trucks arrive in Nigeria.

The refinery has also embarked on a large-scale Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered truck roll-out to enhance logistic strength and reduce costs.

“Even though we recently noticed how the CNG prices doubled a week ago, that will not deter our 10,000 CNG truck roll-out this year,” the company said.

This initiative, it was gathered, is part of Dangote’s efforts to improve fuel distribution and reduce costs, ultimately benefiting consumers.

The free fuel distribution scheme was initially slated to start in August but was delayed due to logistics challenges in China. Despite this setback, Dangote remains committed to its goal of providing affordable fuel to Nigerians. (Nigerian Tribune, but headline rejugged)
