Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is to build more depots across the Country.<\/p>\n

NNPC Group Managing Director, Dr. Maikanti Baru who disclosed this Monday in Abuja while inaugurating the board of one of its downstream Companies, NNPC Retail limited, said the addition to the corporation\u2019s existing 23 depots nationwide would ease products supply and distribution in the country.<\/p>\n

Dr. Baru who charged the members of the board to expand the company\u2019s market share from 13 to 30 per cent said building more depots by the corporation was\u00a0 more feasible than acquiring dormant ones.<\/p>\n

He lauded NNPC Retail for its strong intervention to wet the market at a time when other downstream players were playing underhand games to create artificial scarcity.<\/p>\n

The GMD tasked the board to aggressively see to the expansion of the NNPC Retail beyond the shores of Nigeria, adding: \u201cBy mid-2019, you should be having plans to go into the sub-region, this board should propel NNPC Retail into a new height\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

On diversification and backward integration, the GMD directed the company to venture into lubricants production, marine and industrial services to boost its revenue profile as it was an line with our quest as an integrated oil company<\/p>\n

Responding, Chairman of the board and Chief Operating Officer (COO), Gas and Power, Engr. Saidu Mohammed, said as an NNPC-owned company, the watch word for NNPC Retail should be \u201cefficiency and profitability, especially in a downstream system like ours that is highly competitive\u201d.<\/p>
