A. A. Rano (Nig.) Limited has unveiled unmanned fuel stations, giving Nigeria a first start into automated, unmanned fuel station operations.
TNT understands that the technology is being implemented in partnership with Petrosoft Limited and that Petrosoft will deploy its automated station technology across A.A. Rano’s approximately 200 retail outlets nationwide.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 6 January 2026, A.A. Rano says the first automated stations are expected to start operations this month, enabling customers to refuel, make contactless payments, and complete transactions without attendants.
“Our commitment to excellence and innovation led us to Petrosoft. By introducing unmanned, automated stations, we are not just adopting technology; we are setting a new standard for reliability and speed in the Nigerian downstream sector. This project ensures our customers can fuel up at any time with total confidence,” AA Rano’s General Manager, Retail, Mr Mohammed Sule says.
Petrosoft is proud to partner with A.A Rano for the “historic project.”
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Petrosoft, Dr Joshua Denila, says, “We are proud to partner with AA RANO on this historic project. Our solutions are 100% locally developed but meet global standards for IoT and automation.
“From retail outlets to large-scale corporate fueling hubs, Petrosoft’s mission is to eliminate inefficiencies and maximise profitability for operators while giving the end-user a world-class experience.”
