Who we are
A trading house that decided to follow the fuel all the way to the customer.
MEA Global began in 2016 as a trading business in the Gulf, buying refined products and sending them to West Africa. Trading was the first chapter, not the last. From our offices in Dubai and Sharjah we still buy and sell for counterparties across Africa and international markets, but the story no longer stops at the port.
Down the chain, our companies take over. MEA Energy Trading imports and sells in Nigeria and runs the MEA stations. MEA Energy Niger brings supply to the Sahel. Go N' Fill delivers fuel to the door, and Agricliq works with farmers to turn grain into trade. Everything we have built so far has been funded from our own resources.
Where we are going
We want to hold the whole chain, from vessel to pump to last mile, across downstream, midstream and upstream. We do not want to be just a trading house. We want to own real assets across the Oil and Gas sector in Africa and wherever we operate, and in agriculture too.
Vision, mission and values
Vision.
To be the most dynamic energy Group, creating enduring value across generations.
Mission.
To deliver what the world depends on, through innovation and operational excellence.
Leadership
We don't wait. We lead. We take initiative, act with courage and move as one team united by a shared purpose.
Excellence
Innovate. Deliver. Elevate. Operational rigour and a drive to keep improving turn ambition into value.
Accountability
We own it. The right way. We take responsibility for our decisions and results, always prioritising safety.
Partnership
Together we go further. We treat every customer, colleague and stakeholder as a partner worthy of respect.
Our new name
One name. One brand.
Effective 9 October 2026, Bell Weather International FZC has changed its name to MEA Global Trading FZC. Only the name has changed, not the ownership: same company, same leadership, led from Dubai.

What one name gives us
One name now stands behind every company and every department in the Group. That means the parent company, MEA Energy Trading, MEA Energy Niger, MEA Gas, MEA Logistics and Transportation, Go N' Fill, Agricliq and the teams that support them.
Better brand recognition
Put one name on every station, truck, contract and cargo, and people spot it sooner and remember it longer.
One household name
A single name that motorists, families, farmers and businesses across West Africa come to know and trust, from the forecourt to the delivery truck.
One industry name
Banks, suppliers, national Oil companies and trading houses see one identity in the Oil, Gas and commodities industry: one Group, one track record, one standard.
Clearer for partners
Trading, retail, logistics, Gas and delivery now sit under one recognisable name, so nobody has to work out which entity does what.
A shared reputation
Every station opened, cargo delivered and project completed builds the same brand. What we earn in one business strengthens all the others.
One team, one culture
One name behind every department brings teams in Dubai, Nigeria and Niger together around the same values: Leadership, Excellence, Accountability and Partnership.
Contracts, bank details and obligations continue unchanged under the new name. Updated documents are available from the Group office.
Leadership
Global leadership from Dubai, working with management teams across Africa.

Group structure
Ten companies, one journey.
Ours begins in Dubai and Sharjah, where our traders buy refined products from refiners and trading houses around the world. It ends at a station forecourt in Lagos, on a truck heading for Niamey, or at a farm gate in Plateau State. Along the way, each company in the Group takes care of one stretch of the road.
