Under the arrangement, qualifying marketers can procure petrol at N1,165 per litre and receive it at no extra delivery cost.
The refinery also gives marketers 10 days to make payment after taking delivery, a window that eases the immediate cash burden of large fuel purchases.
To qualify, a marketer must buy at least 250,000 litres in a single transaction. Dangote Refinery said the offer is open to any marketer who meets that threshold.
Why Dangote Refinery Free Delivery Matters
Transport costs have long been a key driver of price differences between states closer to coastal depots and those further inland.
For states like Kano and Imo, the cost of moving fuel from a refinery or terminal can add significantly to what consumers eventually pay at the pump.
By bearing the delivery cost to these four new states, the refinery is removing one of the main expenses that pushes pump prices higher.
This could give marketers in those states more room to offer competitive prices, though the final pump price charged to motorists remains at the discretion of individual filling station operators.
Dangote Refinery's ex-depot price has shifted several times in recent months, moving within a range of roughly N1,075 to N1,215 per litre, as the refinery and petroleum marketers continue to navigate pricing and supply terms.

Dangote Offers Credit Facility for Marketers
The 10-day credit window is a significant addition to the free delivery offer.
It allows marketers to receive fuel, sell it, and then settle their account with the refinery afterwards, rather than tying up large sums of capital upfront.
Together, the two benefits reduce the financial strain on marketers, particularly those operating in states where logistics costs have historically been high, Petroleumprice.ng reports.
