Honestly, Dangote's move to use CNG trucks is actually pretty smart, even though it looks risky since everyone else in Nigeria still rolls with diesel. I've seen so many companies just stick with diesel because it's "what they've always done"—but since the government axed the fuel subsidy, diesel prices shot up like crazy. CNG, or compressed natural gas, is way cheaper now and it's cleaner for the environment too.

I read Dangote is putting over 4,000 of these trucks on the road. That's not some little experiment—that's a real bet on saving costs. It probably helps them deliver fuel without breaking the bank every time diesel prices spike. Plus, it kinda fits with the whole push for greener energy the government is talking about. I think Dangote just doesn't want to depend on expensive imported fuel anymore. They're huge, so if anyone can afford to try something this different, it's them.

If it works, other companies might copy them. But honestly, being the first is risky because if it flops, that's a lot of money wasted. But if it pays off, Dangote will look like a total genius.
