NNPC to establish 800 retail outlets - Group Executive Director
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation is set to establish 800 additional retail outlets across the country, Dr. Babatunde Adeniran, its Group Executive Director, has said.
Adeniran spoke on Friday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, when he led the NNPC team on a courtesy visit to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State at the Governor’s Lodge.
He said out of the 800 stations, three retail outlets would be established across the three senatorial districts of Kwara State.
Adeniran said already, 503 retail stations had been established across the country, while six outlets were in Kwara State, with only one solely owned by the NNPC.
He sought for allocation of land in the three senatorial districts to enable the corporation build its outlets in the areas.
Adeniran said efforts were on to resume full operation at the Oke-Oyi depot, with a view to bringing relief to the oil marketers and the public.
He pointed out that the activities of vandals through Atlascove, Mosinmi and Ibadan had limited upstream activities to Oke-Oyi depot.
In his response, Ahmed promised that his government would continue to be supportive of ideas and activities that would create employment opportunities and boost economic activities.
The governor called for efficient and effective distribution system of oil products.
Ahmed stressed the need for stronger collaboration among security agencies in checking activities of pipeline vandals across the country.
