The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has announced plans to deploy between 50 and 70 smart, self-service filling stations across the country within the next six months.
The company said the initiative was part of a broader plan to transform its conventional retail outlets into modern energy and mobility hubs, offering petrol, electric vehicle charging, liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas and other services.
The Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Limited, Mumuni Dagazau, disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja while speaking at the commissioning of a technology-driven service station with an electric vehicle charging facility. The mega station is located along Bill Clinton Drive, Airport Road.
Dagazau said the newly commissioned station was the first of several smart outlets that would be introduced nationwide, adding that the concept was to move beyond traditional petrol retailing to provide customers with multiple energy and mobility services in one location.
He said, “This is the first of many smart stations that we are going to have around the country. What the whole concept is, we are trying to turn from a filling station to an energy hub, and we are rolling out a lot of stations.
I think even in Abuja, for this type of station, we have about four or five. We have another two that we’re launching out in Kano. This sort of smart stations that we’re doing.
“We are hoping to roll out a significant number, probably about 50 to 70 of these types of stations within the next six months. So this is what you’ll be seeing going forward from NNPC.
