LAGOS, Nigeria — Tango Brook Technologies has introduced a new digital fuel card that it says will help drivers, households and businesses save money, reduce fuel theft and gain more control over their spending.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Tango Fuel Card, launched Tuesday, combines a physical payment card with digital tools that track fuel use, generate reports and prevent fraud. The company says the card can be used at filling stations across Nigeria and will give customers real-time visibility into their fuel expenses.

According to Tango Brook, the system is designed to reduce fuel theft by up to 95 percent, set spending limits, and block unauthorized transactions. It also provides instant details of each purchase, including the exact amount of fuel bought and the cost per transaction.

Managing Director Obi Wemambu said the new card represents a major step forward for both individuals and businesses struggling with rising fuel costs.

“The Tango Fuel Card transforms fuel management by giving businesses and individuals real-time visibility into consumption, mileage and spending at both vehicle and driver levels,” Wemambu said in a statement. “With PIN protection, customizable limits and nationwide acceptance, it offers unmatched flexibility, security and convenience. Enhanced with built-in rewards, Tango delivers savings while ensuring total control.”

Added Value for Customers

The company emphasized that the fuel card is more than just a payment tool. Users can set limits on how much fuel drivers or family members can purchase, monitor transactions through an app, and stop misuse before it happens.

Chief Operating Officer Dubem Okafor said the card offers both security and savings at a time when Nigerians are looking for more value in their everyday spending.

“With the launch of the Tango Fuel Card, we’re introducing a smarter, more secure and rewarding way for people and businesses to manage their fuelling needs,” Okafor said. “This isn’t just about payments; it’s about giving customers transparency, convenience and value every time they power their journeys.”

The company said customers who use the card could save up to 15 percent on fuel costs. A loyalty program also allows users to earn up to an 8 percent bonus on their fuel budgets, which can be redeemed for future purchases.

Business and Corporate Benefits

For businesses, the Tango Fuel Card is positioned as a decision-making and accountability tool. Employers can set budgets for drivers, track how much fuel is used per vehicle, and prevent overspending or misuse. The data can also be used to plan more efficient routes and reduce waste.

Fuel fraud and theft are persistent challenges in Nigeria, where transport and logistics are key to many industries. Tango Brook says its new system will help reduce losses and give companies better insight into their operating costs.

How It Works

Getting started with the card is designed to be simple. Customers must first create an account and receive a digital wallet. They can then request a physical card, activate it, and begin using it at filling stations nationwide. Every transaction is tracked instantly, giving users access to detailed reports through their account.

Tango Brook said the card is part of its wider effort to use technology to simplify everyday services for Nigerians. The company, which develops financial and consumer technology products, hopes the new platform will gain traction with both private motorists and large fleet operators.

Industry Context

The launch comes at a time when fuel costs remain a major concern in Nigeria. Rising global oil prices and subsidy reforms have pushed up pump prices, making fuel one of the biggest household and business expenses. Many companies have also reported losses from theft or misuse of fuel allocations.

By combining payment, tracking and reward features, Tango Brook hopes to offer a solution that makes fuel management more efficient and transparent.

The company did not disclose how many customers have already signed up but said it expects strong adoption in the coming months.

As Nigerians continue to adapt to higher energy costs, the Tango Fuel Card could play a role in how households and businesses manage one of their most essential needs — fueling their journeys.

Momodu Questions Tinubu’s Commitment to Free and Fair Elections

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has expressed doubts about President Tinubu’s commitment to conducting free and fair elections in 2027, claiming that even some of the President’s supporters harbour similar concerns.

reports that the veteran journalist made the remarks during an interview on Arise News’ Prime Time programme.

Momodu alleged that some Nigerians fear Tinubu might be unwilling to relinquish power if he loses the next presidential election.

He, however, insisted that Nigerians would resist any attempt by the President to remain in office after an electoral defeat.

The ADC chieftain further claimed that some governors elected on the APC platform, alongside judges and legislators, were apprehensive about the possible outcome of the 2027 elections.

Speaking during the interview, Momodu said many Nigerians would question whether Tinubu could be trusted to oversee a credible and transparent electoral process.

He argued that some supporters of the President were confident of victory but, according to him, struggled to explain the basis for their optimism beyond their belief in Tinubu’s political influence.

Momodu also maintained that his confidence in the opposition’s efforts was not based solely on his party, but on what he described as the growing determination of ordinary Nigerians who do not want Tinubu to secure another term.

He recalled Tinubu’s political struggle to win a second term as governor of Lagos State, suggesting that opposition figures were also working behind the scenes to challenge his bid for re-election as President.

The ADC chieftain added that some political figures who publicly support Tinubu were allegedly concerned about the current political climate but were reluctant to express their reservations openly.

He concluded by describing the President’s position within the political establishment as one that many were unwilling to challenge directly.

Momodu’s remarks reflect his personal assessment of the political atmosphere ahead of the 2027 elections and his criticism of the Tinubu administration.
