The Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria (NOGASA) on Friday denied receiving tankers from the Dangote Refinery, insisting the information was false in its entirety.
Asked to confirm the receipt of the trucks on phone, its National Public Relations Officer, Chief Chinedu Ukadike, told The Nation that the association is still opposed to the direct distribution of petroleum products to the end-users by the refinery.
He said the refinery was yet to contact the association for any engagement, including product distribution or provision of tankers.
According to him: “There is a report going round that we are holding a meeting with Dangote, that has promised to give NOGASA trucks. It is not true. They have not approached us.
“Dangote has not approached us. We have never heard from them. We are still insisting he should not do direct delivery to end-users”
The refinery has recently taken the delivery of its 4,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered trucks for the direct supply of the products to end-users, telecoms, and other bulk customers.
The development which was announced on June 15, 2025 was to take effect today August 15, 2025.
NOGASA and some other associations have realised the new supply order would eliminate them from the value chain.
