A Gulf base with Africa in its sights
From Dubai and Sharjah, our team works with refiners, terminals, traders and end buyers. The same relationships support the Group's fuel retail and distribution businesses in Nigeria and Niger. The Dubai team is strengthened with senior professionals from leading international trading houses. Our job is simple: bring Gulf supply to markets that need dependable fuel.
The UAE office also oversees the GCC and Far East markets, developing supplier and buyer relationships across both regions.

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.
