DANGOTE PETROLEUM REFINERY TO BEGIN DISTRIBUTION OF PMS AND DIESEL NATIONWIDE

...Deploys 4,000 CNG Tankers To Enhance Distribution Network Nationwide

…Offer open to Marketers, Petrol Dealers, Manufacturers, Telecoms Firms, Aviation and other large s

Dangote Petroleum Refinery is pleased to announce the commencement of a significant national initiative designed to transform Nigeria’s fuel distribution landscape. Effective 15th of August 2025, the Refinery will begin the distribution of Motor Spirit (PMS) and diesel to marketers, petrol dealers, manufacturers, telecoms firms, aviation, and other large s across the country, with free logistics to boost distribution network.

To ensure smooth take-off of this scheme, Dangote Refinery has invested in the procurement of 4,000 brand-new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tankers. This phase of the programme will continue over an extended timeframe. The refinery is also investing in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations, commonly referred to as daughter booster stations, ed by a fleet of over 100 CNG tankers across the country to ensure seamless product distribution.

This strategic programme is part of our broader commitment to eliminating logistics costs, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting sustainability and ing Nigeria’s economic development. It affirms our dedication to improving the availability and affordability of fuel, in of broader efforts to strengthen the economy and improve the well-being of all Nigerians.

Under this initiative, all petrol stations purchasing PMS and diesel from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery will benefit from this enhanced logistics . Key sectors such as manufacturing, telecommunications, and others will also gain from this transformative initiative, as reduced fuel costs will contribute to lower production costs, reduced inflation, and foster economic growth. Players in these key sectors and others can purchase directly from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

In addition, the refinery will offer a credit facility to those purchasing a minimum of 500,000 litres—allowing them to obtain an additional 500,000 litres on credit for two weeks, under bank guarantee.

This pioneering effort marks a major milestone in our vision to revolutionise Nigeria’s energy sector. Dangote Refinery is dedicated to ensuring that no place is left behind. Our goal is to provide equitable access to affordable fuel for all Nigerians, regardless of location, making energy more accessible and sustainable for everyone, wherever they may be.

It is expected to revitalise previously inactive petrol stations, thereby driving job creation, stimulating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), increasing government revenue, improving fuel access in rural and underserved communities, and strengthening investor confidence in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector.

This initiative is inline with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, reflecting our shared commitment to economic progress, stability, and inclusive development. We sincerely thank the Federal Government for its continued , especially through the Naira-for-Crude scheme, which has helped stabilise fuel supply amid global price volatility. It marks a major revolution in the midstream and downstream sectors and stands as a key example of President Bola Tinubu’s bold and reformative economic policies.

We invite marketers, petrol dealers, manufacturers, telecom companies, and all key stakeholders to embrace this landmark initiative. The registration process, including Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, will take place from 16 June to 15 August, spanning a total of 60 days. For enquiries, please call +234 707 470 2099, +234 707 470 2100, +234 816 961 8390, +234 703 796 8308, +234 812 362 2893. Email: Email: [email protected].

Angry Benue youths on Sunday staged a protest and blocked the Abuja-Makurdi highway, expressing outrage over the continued killings in the state.

The demonstrators, dressed in black attires and carrying palm fronds and placards with various inscriptions, barricaded the ever-busy road, disrupting vehicular movement and demanding immediate action to end the bloodshed.

DAILY POST observed that the protesters prevented vehicles from ing, causing gridlock and panic among commuters.

Life was just as bad then as now.

It does not mean that tinubu was the best choice in 2023.

Not as bad as now, people can afford to eat at least twice in a day then, but now, one meal is not assured.

They don't tell you, if you like enslave yourself by voting Emilokan to get ebilokan.

TimeManager:
It's obvious, some Nigerians suffer from short memory. When Government was paying subsidy, Nigerians at the time still were complaining about everything, long queues, fuel scarcity, no roads, no light, lack of health care, frequent ASUU strikes, poor renumeration, low quality Education, inflation etc. And now that the subsidy fraud has ended and more money are going into FAAC, more funds being channeled into infrastructural projects, including welfare and increase in wages and salaries of workers. There's systematic and gradual improvement in the economic outlook. You may complain about rise in food, transport, electricity costs, though genuine, however, these are fundamentally as a result of human factor such as banditry/terrorism. The power sector was poorly privatized which subsequently needed Government intervention. The bottom line is the fact that economy is on the path of right direction, tough but promising.



PS - the ignorance here is many quoting me do not know that subsidy funds saved goes into federation where it's shared among the states and the federal government. Your Governors are collecting their share of it, Soludo was the latest to validate it. Go and ask your Governors how the increased FAAC is being used.



-Kiss the truth!

Was life not better then, than now. What have they saved, squandering everything like prodigal politicians.

Ezmans:
Fulani herdsmen have declared full blown war on Nigerians

Majority of people are deluded, still ing, based on ethnicity and religion. They are hungry, but prasing those who are stealing their destinies and tell them to bear with them..

The same Benue people demonstrating in solidarity for Alli/Tinubu. They day, everybody realise life is sacrosanct and you need to defend yours, may be we will start to enjoy peace.

These keep on lying about things that are verifiable, what of cooked s we can never see. Irony some of their din din rins are hyper active to tag you ibo.

Obakoolex:


Your assertion is correct to some extent but I tell you this has nothing to do with government but old people in the government that can't reason straight apart from religion line and believe it that they'll be in every Nigerian government until most of their generations dies off.

Btw you try writing Yoruba but you're surely not omo oduduwa

Anything you say, even if you claimed I am Omo Faranse. You can type the rubbish you like. At least I know my home town and my surname rings bell.

The error of a nation, if we had kept quiet, one big Bishop or Pastor or Imam would have been invited to waste our food and resources.

Tinubunation has happened to DSTV too, it shows economy is not improving, many viewing centers are off business.

Wike want to show he is incharge of Abuja wastage systems.

It is good that we are going back to the days of our forefathers.

In a June 9, 2025, interview with TVC, Maryam Abacha claimed that the more than $3.8 billion recovered from the United States, United Kingdom, , Switzerland, and other countries, popularly known as the "Abacha loot," was actually money her husband had "saved" for Nigeria. According to her, these funds inexplicably "vanished" soon after General Sani Abacha's death in 1998.


"Who is the witness to the monies being stashed away?" she asked pointedly. "Did anyone see the signatures or concrete evidence of money being hidden abroad? Those funds my husband set aside for Nigeria disappeared within months, yet no one discusses that."

Echoing Maryam Abacha's revisionist narrative, retired Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, Abacha’s former Chief Security Officer, asserted in an interview with BBC Hausa Service on June 12, 2025, that what we now call "Abacha loot" was actually intended to boost Nigeria’s entrepreneurial spirit so that businesspeople could provide essential goods and services at affordable prices, like Libya’s economic policies under Muammar Gaddafi.


"The funds weren't deposited under Abacha's personal name," Al-Mustapha emphasized.

These attempts at reframing history were thoroughly addressed in my May 23, 2020, column titled, "History of Abacha’s Theft is Being Rewritten Before Our Eyes," reproduced below:

In her historical fictional narrative titled “The Lost Sisterhood,” Danish-Canadian writer Anne Fortier quotes one of her characters as saying that “those who control the present can rewrite the past.” This is playing out right before us in what I called the curious posthumous deodorization of Abacha’s grand larceny in a May 7, 2020, social media update.

Loyalists and beneficiaries of Sani Abacha’s dictatorship control Nigeria’s present, and they are trying to exploit this privilege to rewrite the sordid past of their benefactor while the rest of the country is fixated on other issues.

Muhammadu Buhari has always been invested in cleansing Abacha’s appallingly grubby reputation as a murderous larcener. During the 10th-year-ance anniversary of Abacha in Kano in June 2008, for instance, Muhammadu Buhari remarked that, contrary to settled narratives in the Nigerian public sphere, Abacha never stole from Nigeria.

This 2008 Buhari declaration birthed a fringe, outlandish but nonetheless popular narrative in northern Nigeria that Abacha’s reputation as a ruthless crook who stole billions of Nigeria’s patrimony and salted it away in Euro-American financial institutions was the handiwork of Olusegun Obasanjo who was taking a posthumous pound of flesh from Abacha for imprisoning him.

In the aftermath of the unrelenting repatriation of what has now been called the “Abacha loot” from Western banks, a new farcical story line was fabricated, which is that Abacha actually “saved” the money for Nigeria for a rainy day!

Apart from Buhari’s public defense of Abacha’s larceny in 2008, the posthumous discursive purification of Abacha’s image as a greedy, conscienceless thief was largely informal and took place on the margins of polite society.

Abubakar Malami, Buhari’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, officialized the revisionism of Abacha’s thievery. In a May 4, 2020, tweet, Malami described repatriated Abacha loot as “Abacha assets.” “I am happy to confirm that the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Monday 4th May, 2020 received $311,797,866.11 of the Abacha assets repatriated from the United States and the Bailiwick of Jersey,” he wrote.

The change from “Abacha loot” to “Abacha assets” was a willful rhetorical move designed to lend official credence to the hitherto fringy, informal but nevertheless robust narrative that Abacha didn’t steal Nigeria’s money.

Led by Sahara Reporter’s Omoyele Sowore, Nigerians on social media pounced on Malami’s tweet and compelled him to retract his incompetent attempt at revisionism. In a woolly, shamefaced, error-ridden retraction, Malami said, “It is to be noted that by way of antecedence [sic] that Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has been consistently describing the recovered funds as ‘Abacha loot’ at several fora during the process of recovery of the looted funds, particularly before the eventual repatriation of the funds.”

But it didn’t stop there. Buba Galadima, a former Buhari protégé who is now at loggerheads with him because he has been shut out of the orbit of governance, has taken off from where Malami backed off. In a May 17, 2020, interview with The Nation, he said the estimated $5 billion Sani Abacha stole from Nigeria's trough was actually "saved" for Nigeria—on the advice of Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein—in anticipation of US sanction against Nigeria so that "even if Nigeria's was blocked by the US, there won't be panic."

Galadima, who was Director General of the National Maritime Authority during the Abacha junta, said the notion that Abacha stole from Nigeria’s till is “based on ignorance.” When an editor forwarded excerpts of the interview to me on WhatsApp, I’d dismissed it as fabricated. I was wrong.

As I pointed out on social media on May 17, the idea that the Abacha loot was “saved” for Nigeria stands logic on its head, considering that Abacha "saved" some of that money in the US whose impending blockage he was allegedly plotting against. How do you "hide" something from someone by "saving" it in his house?

Plus, even Buhari, the choirmaster of the Abacha sanitization chorus, has grudgingly conceded that his former boss stole from Nigeria’s public treasury. For example, in an April 27, 2016, tweet, Buhari said, “Nigeria is awaiting receipt from Swiss Govt. of $320 million, identified as illegally taken from Nigeria under Abacha.”

“Illegally taken” is merely a synonym for stealing. In a February 4, 2020, statement from the US Embassy in Nigeria about the repatriation of the “Abacha loot” from US banks, the US government was unambiguous in stating how the money got to its banks.

“The monies were laundered by [Abacha’s] family, including his sons Ibrahim and Mohammed, and a number of close associates,” the statement from the US reads. “The laundering operation extended to the United States and European jurisdictions such as the UK, , , Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Luxembourg.”

One of those associates who helped Abacha launder huge sums of money is Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu to whom the Buhari regime wanted to hand over $100 million of the recovered money, according to Bloomberg, but for the resistance of the US government. If the money was “saved” for Nigeria, why did Buhari want to hand over some of it to a person who has been identified as an accomplice in its theft?

The US Department of Justice identified Bagudu as one of Abacha’s networks of proteges that, “embezzled, misappropriated and extorted billions from the government of Nigeria.”

It isn’t only the US that unequivocally describes the repatriated funds as the product of Abacha’s criminal despoliation of Nigeria’s resources.

In a June 12, 2017, Radio International report titled “Swiss make deal with Nigeria on final payout for Abacha loot,” we learn that “The cash was originally frozen in Luxembourg and confiscated by the Swiss as part of a criminal investigation into Abba Abacha, Sani Abacha’s son. Switzerland had already returned some 700 million dollars following appeals by Nigeria.”

In a “Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative - Asset Recovery Watch” bulletin, there’s also a case against “Family of former President Sani Abacha,” where we read that, “In 2006, the World Bank was involved in a similar framework, providing institutional for the return and use of approx. $723 million in public funds that had been corruptly diverted by General Abacha.”

Not all the money Abacha stole has been recovered. Of the $5 billion that Abacha looted and squirreled away—or "saved" for Nigeria, to use Galadimian logic—in the banks of countries that wanted to "block" Nigeria's money, $3.624 billion has been recovered so far. Can Galadima help Nigeria recover the rest of the money since he appears to know where the money has been "saved"?

The purveyors of the transparently fraudulent narrative that Abacha “saved” money for Nigeria in foreign banks which his detractors have decided to call “loot” should be told that they can’t rewrite history.

People, mostly young northerners who hadn’t come of age when Abacha’s evil regime reigned, have sent me private messages asking that I help stop the “demonization” of Abacha. For them, it’s a regional and religious project. But that’s misguided. Islam teaches us to be fair, just, and truthful. It doesn’t teach us to lie to salvage the image of a dead thief among us.

The unvarnished truth is that Abacha did NOT save money for Nigeria; he STOLE from it with conscienceless glee. It’s distressing that one has to even say this in spite of the clear evidence that stares us in the face.

Nlfpmod, GEJ is wiser now and he will not contest to please Bashiru and Co who called him names.

Eje ka gbadura, ka leri opolopo ohunje, lori tabilii wa. Won o gbadura, lati dawoo iwa buruku awon labii, onitakutu ta pe ni bandits duro. I just pray this government doesnt continue in 2027, Mexico, Haiti will be far better. Farmers, cant access farms, government due to kidnappers, government cant stop them. When HOSHEA wrote Hoshea 4: 6, I think he had Nigeria in mind.

I have entered this ICC for more than 20 times in the last 15 years, I don't see what called for wastage of N39bn, when most events that takes place their can use other good venues and people are becoming poorer.

Wike will die before many of us as the Lord liveth. Oro jade, ase gun.

We can see that judiciary is on trial by itself. Technicality is what will finish it.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has distanced himself from an Instagram post suggesting he is planning a comeback in the 2027 presidential election.

The post, shared by an bearing Jonathan’s name, criticised Nigeria’s current leaders, claiming they are “pretending to sleep”, while urging citizens to choose better leadership in 2027.

“Since our current leaders are pretending to sleep, we pray that we will get our good leadership back in 2027; your choice will determine the betterment of our future,” the post read.

The message was accompanied by music and an image, believed to be AI-generated, of Jonathan shaking hands with U.S. President Donald Trump. The post has since attracted over 16,000 views and 1,261 comments.

However, when ed by TheCable on Friday, Ikechukwu Eze, Jonathan’s spokesperson, dismissed the post as fake and clarified that the former president does not operate an Instagram .

“Former President Jonathan does not own an Instagram ,” Eze said.

This is not the first time Jonathan has had to disown political activity linked to his name. Ahead of the 2023 elections, he rejected a presidential nomination form purchased on his behalf by a group. The form, bought under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was disavowed by Jonathan through a statement from his media team.

“He was not aware of this bid and did not authorise it,” the statement read at the time.

Press9jaTV kilosele. APC can't win Osun again for now. Nlfpmod. .

Power to the powerless People.

When will said we are still importing they called us names. The truth is how many people fills their tanks now? Travel by road towards and see how empty roads are, sometimes less than 100 vehicles will be seen. People don't have money to fuel. Reason for low import, not any REFINERY.

Hope it is not power tussle.

They are only loading their pockets, why they tell us to tighten our belts and be peaceful.
