The refinery stated that the offer is open to petrol marketers, dealers, manufacturers, telecom operators, aviation companies, and other major fuel consumers. Those purchasing directly from the refinery will also be eligible for enhanced logistics support, aimed at reducing fuel costs and easing inflationary pressures across industries.

To support bulk buyers, the company is also introducing a credit facility for purchases starting at 500,000 litres, allowing qualified buyers to obtain an additional 500,000 litres on a two-week credit basis, secured by a bank guarantee.

Aligning with the Renewed Hope AgendaDangote Refinery affirmed that this initiative supports the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda, championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The scheme aligns with national efforts to stabilise fuel supply and promote inclusive growth, supported in part by the government’s Naira-for-Crude exchange program.
