Vindi comes with such plan as ending fuel scarcity, removing pricing disparity regardless of location, ordering of fuel online and managing your vehicles fleet fuel consumption.

Victor Kalu, the company’s Chairman and CEO, made the revelation at an interactive session with members of the Association of Maritime Journalists of Nigeria (AMJON) in Lagos.

Kalu who said the company targets to distribute one billion liters of fuel this year through its platform.

He said Vindi Petroleum plans to achieve it’s goals through the launch of FuelYapa, an online platform that enables consumers to order fuel and pick it up at partner stations nationwide.

With FuelYapa, you can also pre-order fuel in bulk, monitor consumption, and ensure uniform pricing no matter where your fleet operates. Paying same affordable price as in Lagos is assured.

The platform he said boasts over 1,000 partner stations and aims to make petroleum products more affordable.

Kalu restated the determination of Vindi Petroleum to cut out middlemen and simplify distribution process.

He said, “We want to simplify fuel distribution so that Nigerians can buy fuel at better prices. This isn’t about personal gain, it’s about finding solutions to real economic problems,” Kalu said.

He highlighted the impact of rising fuel costs on ordinary Nigerians, particularly with regard to transportation expenses.

“In Nigeria today, the cost of goods and transportation has skyrocketed, directly linked to the rising cost of fuel. People are struggling to survive, and we cannot afford to stand by and watch.”

Towards effective and efficient realization of its goal, Vindi Petroleum is working with independent marketers, securing supplies from major producers, and rolling out a private offer that allows Nigerians to invest in petroleum distribution.

Declared that with only N455,000, individuals can invest in Vindi Petroleum’s PMS vessel private offer and earn a return of up to 132 percent per annum.

Kalu emphasized the importance of competition in the energy market, citing the limited reach of existing players like NNPC.

“We want to be a viable alternative, ensuring fuel accessibility in underserved areas. This is why we need the media to help amplify our message and drive national support,” Kalu said.

He urged the media to actively support initiatives geared towards addressing Nigeria’s economic challenges.

“We need your support, as the media has the power to shape public opinion and attract the necessary partnerships to make this vision a reality,” Kalu concluded.

Vindi Petroleum’s plans have been hailed as a game-changer for Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, with many experts predicting a significant impact on fuel prices and accessibility in the coming months.

With fuelYapa, life seems to have been made easy for Nigerians who would now place their retail orders and receive at the comfort of their homes.
