Drivers and commuters in Borno State have called on the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to establish more retail stations in the state. The call was made on Monday as NNPC Ltd concluded a one-day sensitization exercise in Maiduguri, the state capital.
The sensitization exercise, which was aimed at educating drivers and commuters on the importance of safe and efficient use of petroleum products, drew participants from across the state. However, during the interactive session, drivers and commuters while commending the management of NNPC Ltd for organizing the programme requested for the establishment of more retail outlets in the state to ease access to cheaper and unadulterated petroleum products which NNPC retail has on offer.
Another Park leader, Muhammadu Dan Inna, who chairs Kano Line in the state, said: 'We often have to travel long distances to buy fuel, which is not only stressful but also expensive.” Having listened to the complaints of stakeholders at the programme, the NNPCL team assured that the company is committed to expanding its retail presence in Borno State in line with its global mandate of ensuring national energy security.
