The Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Dr. Maikanti Baru, has described the commencement of operations of the newly constructed ultra-modern mega station located along Lagos Ibadan Expressway, as part of the strategies to ensure energy security in the country.
Reviewing the giant strides of NNPC Retail Limited, a subsidiary of the Corporation, Dr. Baru said the subsidiary’s mega station which has opened to business at Oyeleke Village, around Shagamu Interchange on the expressway, would ensure that thousands of motorists who ply the road enjoy year-round fuel supply at the station, stressing that NNPC would continue to ensure products availability in all the nook and cranny of the country.
“NNPC will continue to maintain its leadership position in the supply of another significant product, gas, to the Nigerian market through its Exploration and Production business unit.
