During the weekend, hundreds of Dangote refinery’s trucks have already hit Nigerian roads from Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos State.

The $20 billion refinery had announced that it invested N720 billion to import 4,000 compressed natural gas trucks; however, reports had it that around 1000 have been delivered.

Dangote Group said the scheme is expected to bring down fuel retail prices and is projected to save the country N1.7 trillion annually in fuel distribution costs.
