Nigerian Startup Rejects Buyout, Gears Up to Launch “Que” to Solve Fuel Scarcity Crisis
In a significant move showcasing the resilience of African tech entrepreneurs, a Nigerian startup has turned down a substantial buyout offer, choosing instead to tackle a persistent national problem: the chaotic and often frustrating quest for fuel. The company, Iprolance Integrated Solutions LLC, based in Lagos and the U.S., and the team behind Que, a mobile application designed to provide real-time information on fuel availability, queue lengths, and pricing, rejected a $100,000 (approximately ₦160 million) acquisition offer. This bold decision underscores the startup’s commitment to solving a critical issue impacting the daily lives of millions of Nigerians.
Que: A Solution for Fuel Scarcity Frustration
Que, formerly known as Fuel Que Update, is a mobile application poised to revolutionize how Nigerians access information about petroleum products. The app aims to eliminate the wasted hours and uncertainty associated with fuel procurement by providing users with instant updates on queue lengths, prices, and the service status of petrol stations across Nigeria. For years, the lack of reliable information has forced citizens to endure lengthy wait times and endure the stress of not knowing if fuel is even available. Que directly addresses this pain point, offering a practical solution to a widespread challenge and potentially saving consumers valuable time and resources. The app’s launch is highly anticipated, promising to bring much-needed transparency and efficiency to the fuel sector in Nigeria.
