Dangote Petroleum Refinery has commenced the free delivery of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to six states across Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The initiative marks a significant operational expansion for the facility, moving beyond production to directly influence distribution channels in key domestic markets.
This development follows the refinery’s recent strategic diversification of its feedstock portfolio, having secured its first-ever crude oil cargoes from the United Arab Emirates.
By purchasing shipments from the Gulf region, the facility has reduced its reliance on domestic crude supplies, enhancing operational stability amid Nigeria’s upstream production challenges.
The free delivery program targets critical consumption hubs, aiming to stabilize local fuel availability and pricing.
For traders and investors, this signals Dangote’s intent to capture greater value in the downstream sector by controlling the final leg of the supply chain.
