Dash Energies Officially Launches in Cameroon with the Inauguration of Our First Station in Douala

On Saturday, September 12, 2026, we proudly marked a major milestone with the official launch and inauguration of our first Dash Energies service station in Cameroon, located at Akwa Douche in Douala.

The ceremony brought together government officials, traditional leaders, business leaders, members of the Dashaco Holdings Africa family, partners, employees, and members of the wider community to celebrate the beginning of our journey in Cameroon.

For us, however, this inauguration represents much more than the opening of a service station. It marks the first step in a broader ambition to build a growing network of Dash Energies stations across Cameroon while delivering an experience centered on reliability, convenience, professionalism, and people.

A Significant Gathering of Dignitaries

The inauguration was honored by the presence of distinguished government officials, traditional leaders, business leaders, partners, and community representatives.

Among the dignitaries present were the Mayor of Douala I, the Sub-Prefect, the Mayor of the City of Douala, the Governor of the Centre Region, and the Governor of the Littoral Region. Traditional leaders and other invited guests also joined us to celebrate this important milestone.

The ceremony was held under the patronage of the Governor of the Littoral Region, Samuel Dieudonné Ivaha Diboua, who represented the government at the event.

Their presence made the occasion particularly meaningful to us. It reflected the importance of this milestone not only for Dash Energies and Dashaco Holdings Africa, but also within the broader context of investment, employment, infrastructure development, and locally driven business growth in Cameroon.

The celebration culminated in the official ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by the first fuel transaction at the station, officially marking the beginning of our retail operations in Cameroon.

From One Station to a Growing National Network

While Akwa Douche is our first station, it is only the beginning.

We have ambitious plans to establish additional Dash Energies service stations in several locations across Cameroon, including Limbe, Buea, Tiko, Muyuka, Kumba, Yaoundé, and Kribi.

Our expansion will take place progressively over the coming months, bringing Dash Energies closer to more customers and communities across the country. We are already preparing for the development of additional stations, beginning with Limbe and followed by other locations as we continue to expand our national footprint.

Our vision goes beyond establishing individual stations. We are building a recognizable and trusted network that will provide consistent products, services, and customer experiences across Cameroon.

The Akwa Douche station is therefore the foundation upon which we intend to build something much bigger.

A Different Approach to the Customer Experience

At the heart of Dash Energies is a simple belief: a service station should be about more than fuel.

Every day, millions of journeys across Cameroon depend on mobility. Taxi drivers depend on their vehicles to earn a living. Parents depend on transportation to take their children to school. Business owners depend on reliable mobility to move products and serve their customers. Professionals depend on transportation to get to work, while families rely on vehicles for countless everyday activities.

This is why we see our customers not simply as people purchasing fuel, but as people with somewhere to go, something to accomplish, or someone to care for.

Our approach is centered on creating a service experience that recognizes the person behind every journey.

At Dash Energies, we are committed to providing quality petroleum products, convenience services, lubricants, and professional customer service. Through Dash Delights, we are also developing a convenient one-stop-shop experience where customers can access additional products and services during their journeys. Our Dash Cash offering further provides customers with a prepaid payment option designed to add convenience to their experience.

Every interaction is an opportunity for us to demonstrate professionalism, reliability, respect, and care.

Creating Value Beyond Fuel

Our contribution goes beyond the products available at the pump.

One of the most important ways we intend to create value is through employment and economic opportunities.

The development of our station network creates opportunities for fuel attendants, shop assistants, administrative personnel, operational teams, and other professionals. As we establish more stations across Cameroon, these opportunities can extend to communities in different regions of the country.

Our stations also create spaces where customers, businesses, suppliers, employees, and communities come together, contributing to local economic activity.

For us, expansion is therefore not simply about increasing the number of locations on a map. It is about developing a network that creates value wherever we operate.

As Dash Energies grows, we want our presence in each community to represent more than a place to purchase fuel. We want it to represent employment, convenience, professional service, economic activity, and a commitment to the people we serve.

Gratitude to Our Community and the Republic of Cameroon

No milestone of this magnitude is achieved alone.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the people of Douala and the wider Cameroonian community for the support, encouragement, and goodwill surrounding the launch of Dash Energies.

We are grateful to the government representatives, traditional authorities, partners, employees, guests, and members of the community who joined us to celebrate this important moment.

We also acknowledge with gratitude the support of the President of the Republic of Cameroon, His Excellency Paul Biya, whose support for the initiative was recognized during the inauguration.

As we begin this journey, we recognize the responsibility that comes with building a business that intends to operate across communities throughout Cameroon. Our commitment is to grow responsibly, serve professionally, and contribute meaningfully to the communities in which we operate.

Looking Toward the Future

The launch of Dash Energies at Akwa Douche is ultimately about what comes next.

Our journey has only begun.

With plans to establish additional stations in several Cameroonian cities, we look forward to bringing the Dash Energies experience to more drivers, families, businesses, and communities.

As our network grows, so will our responsibility to maintain the standards that define our brand. We are committed to combining technology, people, quality products, and proven global practices to create energy solutions and customer experiences that deliver measurable impact.

Every new station will represent another opportunity to demonstrate what Dash Energies stands for: reliable energy, professional service, convenience, and a genuine understanding of the people whose everyday journeys depend on mobility.

The first station at Akwa Douche is therefore both a destination and a beginning.

It is the beginning of our national expansion.

It is the beginning of new employment and economic opportunities.

It is the beginning of new relationships with communities across Cameroon.

And most importantly, it is the beginning of our commitment to becoming a meaningful part of the everyday journeys of the people we serve.

From Douala to Limbe, Buea, Tiko, Muyuka, Kumba, Yaoundé, Kribi, and beyond, our journey is only beginning.
