Algeria delivers 1,600 tons of fuel to support Niger

A convoy of 50 tanker trucks carrying 1,600 tons of gasoline has arrived in Agadez, northern Niger, sourced from the Sbaa refinery in Algeria. This delivery is intended to ease fuel shortages and supply the local market. The reception ceremony was attended by Niger's Minister of Petroleum, Hamadou Tini, and the Algerian Ambassador to Niger, Sâadi Ahmed, among other regional officials. Minister Tini highlighted the strong bilateral ties in the context of global supply chain disruptions, while the Algerian Ambassador noted that President Abdelmadjid Tebboune ordered the emergency dispatch immediately upon learning of Niger's supply challenges. This action reinforces the strategic and fraternal bond shared by the two neighboring nations.
