Nigeria’s First CNG Convoy Rolls Out from Dangote Refinery

Lagos, Aug. 15, 2025 — Light’s barely up, but the yard’s already alive. New trucks, paint still smelling fresh, sit in a neat line. Not diesel — compressed natural gas. Four thousand of them, ready to move.
Engines murmur instead of growl. Drivers check mirrors, tap the glass over their fuel gauges. Out by the loading bays, men in hi-vis jackets argue over a clipboard, then wave the first rigs forward.
The refinery’s dispatch team is tracking every turn — screens lit with maps, thin lines showing the routes to depots and factories. This isn’t the old way. No middle stops. Straight runs to big clients.
Fuel prices are up since subsidies went. These CNG trucks promise to shave costs, keep deliveries on time. One manager glances at the convoy and says, almost to himself, “Seven hundred billion naira on wheels.”
No speeches, no ribbon. Just a slow, steady roll toward the gate, engines humming into the heat of the day.
