The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has announced plans to install between 50 and 70 self-service fuel stations across the nation. Mumuni Dagazau, the Executive Vice President of Downstream at NNPC Limited, revealed this information on Thursday during the inauguration of a smart mega station in Abuja. The initiative, slated to be completed within six months, aims to convert conventional retail outlets into contemporary energy and mobility centers offering petrol, electric vehicle charging, liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas, and additional services.
"We anticipate deploying around 50 to 70 of these stations throughout the next six months," Dagazau stated.
However, this move may lead to the displacement of petrol attendants due to the limited job market in Nigeria. According to estimates, the country is home to between 10 million and 80 million unemployed individuals.
