It carries MEA's expansion into the Sahel: supplying landlocked markets, and planning a retail chain of more than 50 stations in Niger and beyond.

Part of MEA Global Trading.
MEA Energy Niger is part of MEA Global Trading, a UAE-headquartered energy and commodities Group founded in 2016.

Supporting Niger with a reliable supply of fuel.
MEA Energy Niger is a major supplier to SONIDEP, the national petroleum products company of Niger, and we are proud to support the country and its people. Our close partnership gives SONIDEP a supplier that sources product early, moves it on its own fleet and plans for continuous supply. That helps keep fuel available across Niger, for households, farmers, hospitals, transport and industry, and it supports the country’s growth.

Looking after people and place
The Niger network follows the Group's standards. That means HSE policies, spill response, waste management and emergency preparedness. It means local hiring, and solar-powered stations as the network grows. And it includes the Better Life Initiative, which was launched in Nigeria.
Planned storage, our own trucks and over 50 stations across the country.
Our vision in Niger is to develop storage across the country and to build a network of more than 50 stations that reaches every region. Storage close to demand, our own fleet and our own stations together give Niger a reliable, local source of fuel, and a base for supplying the wider Sahel.
- Planned storage across Niger.
- More than 50 stations across the country.
- Reliable supply by our own fleet from Niamey.
