Dangote Group has committed over $280 million to convert its fleet to compressed natural gas (CNG), aiming to slash emissions and support Nigeria’s clean energy ambitions under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. The company’s substantial investment underscores its dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and improving Nigeria’s energy landscape.

“This investment isn’t just about adapting to clean energy,” said Aliko Dangote, President and CEO of Dangote Group. “It’s about supporting Nigeria’s drive toward energy independence and climate resilience.”

President Tinubu’s administration has adopted CNG as a bridge in the nation’s energy transition, pledging one million free conversion kits for commercial vehicles to encourage adoption. He has called on the private sector to lead in developing infrastructure and expanding clean energy, which he believes will help drive economic growth.

Dangote Cement’s Group Managing Director, Arvind Pathak, emphasized that the investment extends to a long-term plan to power the company’s entire fleet with CNG. The company has already received an initial 1,500 CNG-powered trucks, with an additional 1,600 trucks due before year-end.

“By mid-2026, we aim for nearly all our trucks to run on CNG,” Pathak said. “We are also developing robust CNG fuelling stations at our Obajana and Ibese sites to support our transition.”

The Dangote Group is also taking proactive steps to establish itself as the largest operator of CNG trucks in Nigeria, Pathak added, and expects its Obajana station alone to refuel over 3,000 trucks, with additional stations in the pipeline.

“This CNG transition aligns with Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement, which targets net-zero emissions by 2060,” Dangote added. “The private sector has a crucial role to play in making that target achievable.”
