Oil marketers have warned that Dangote Refinery’s deployment of 4,000 CNG-powered trucks cannot guarantee nationwide fuel supply.
“All we are asking for is inclusion. There’s no way Dangote’s trucks alone will reach every corner of the country,” PETROAN president Gillis-Harry said on Channels TV.

Without inclusion of depot networks, experts warn rural areas may face shortages. Marketers say collaboration, not exclusion, will ensure efficiency.
