Fuel Cooperative Aggregation & Bulk Procurement Service

A membership-based fuel procurement cooperative that aggregates demand from businesses, schools, hospitals, and transport operators to negotiate direct supply contracts with Dangote refinery and licensed importers, bypassing NMDPRA bottlenecks through collective purchasing power. Members receive guaranteed monthly fuel allocations at locked-in prices, with logistics handled by the cooperative (depot storage, last-mile delivery via contracted hauliers).

Original Problem

Fuel supply instability causing widespread energy crisis and economic disruption

Nigeria faces critical fuel shortages due to regulatory conflicts between NMDPRA and Dangote refinery, creating cascading failures across energy security, business operations, and essential services like education. Businesses, students, and citizens lack reliable fuel access, forcing them to operate at reduced capacity or shut down entirely, while current regulatory frameworks fail to resolve the standoff quickly.
