The National Association of Road Transport Owners have condemned the new policy of Dangote Refinery aimed to provide direct supply of fuel and free deliveries to fueling stations, telecom companies and other large-scale consumers nationwide.
The President of the Association, Yusuf Othman, expressed that noted that due to receiving free supplies from Dangote, many buyers are opting to bypass their intermediary suppliers in favour of Dangote’s free delivery service, disregarding the agreements they had established with the members of the association.
He said, “We have our members who have signed agreements with so many companies. Some are even informal agreements, but we have formal agreements signed, and by that, we used those formal agreements to collect bank facilities to buy trucks and serve those companies.
“But now, those agreements are at stake because a big brother is coming to supply directly to them, not minding the fact that they have signed agreements with us.
