The Dangote Refinery will on Monday begin its free fuel distribution scheme across selected states, the company confirmed on Friday.

According to Group spokesman Anthony Chiejina, the scheme will kick off in Lagos, the South-West, Abuja, Kwara, Delta, Rivers, and Edo States.

He added that petrol retail prices have also been reduced to ₦841 per litre in Lagos and the South-West, and ₦851 per litre in Abuja, Edo, Kwara, Rivers, and Delta.

The initiative, initially scheduled for August, was delayed due to logistics challenges in China. The refinery has now received over 1,000 trucks to support the roll-out.

Dangote further revealed that it is deploying 10,000 CNG-powered trucks this year to strengthen logistics and cut distribution costs, despite recent hikes in CNG prices.
