Energy, from vessel to pump.

Cooking Gas (LPG) used a year: 4,380 tonnes a day (our calculation)

Nigeria both imports and exports petroleum products, and it still imports ~29% of the cooking gas it supplies. It also burns fuel oil and kerosene, and it relies on imported base oil to blend its lubricants. Bitumen demand is expected to reach 400,000 to 450,000 tonnes a year. MEA trades all of these products.

Our own fleet

Same-day dispatch, tracked trucks.

MEA runs its own trucks, from 500 to 50,000 litres, so we can supply any volume without leaning on third-party transport. The fleet will reach 289 trucks by the end of December 2026, with a target of over 500 by end-2027. It includes diesel, CNG and LNG truck heads and LPG trailers.

Gas and new energy

MEA Gas is building LNG, CNG and LPG supply for customers beyond the grid. At our stations, EV charging, power-as-a-service and L-CNG skids are starting to roll out.

Technology

Technology that keeps the pumps running.

We believe in what artificial intelligence can do for energy: forecasting demand, spotting losses, planning routes, keeping equipment safe and serving customers faster. We want to be the most advanced downstream company in the industry, driven by data, and we use technology to make every link in the chain work harder.

  • Data-driven stations, with tank and pump sensors, loyalty and in-app payment, and vision analytics.

  • Tracked trucks, with GPS, cameras, compartment sensors and smart locks.

  • Data from stations, trucks and trading helps us forecast demand, plan deliveries and cut losses.

Our vision

The most dynamic energy Group, creating enduring value across generations.

We want to be the most dynamic energy Group, creating enduring value across generations. Our mission is to deliver what the world depends on, through innovation and operational excellence. In Nigeria, that means owning more of the chain from vessel to pump, and building it to last.

L.E.A.P: how we work.

Four values guide every decision we make, from the boardroom to the forecourt.

    We hold ourselves to the highest standard in everything we deliver.

    We own our promises and we own our results.

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.
