about us

BUILDING AFRICA'S MOST TRANSPARENT ENERGY SUPPLY CHAIN

Since 2008, Velay Limited has been at the forefront of Nigeria's technology sector, combining deep industry expertise with innovative technology to deliver reliable, transparent, and efficient solutions.

FROM VISION TO INNOVATION

Established in June 2008, Velay Limited began with a clear mission: to transform Nigeria's petroleum distribution landscape through integrity, efficiency, and innovation. Over the past 15 years, we've grown from a traditional petroleum marketer into a technology-driven distribution powerhouse.

As an approved off-taker of Dangote Petroleum Refinery (Customer Code: 11007369), we maintain privileged access to the world's largest single-train refinery. But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to solve the industry's most persistent challenges.

Today, we operate Africa's first fully-digitized petroleum distribution platform, connecting suppliers, distributors, and consumers through AI-powered logistics, real-time tracking.
