Rainoil Limited, a major downstream petroleum products marketer, has opened a 5000 square metres petrol filling station in Azagba community area of Benin City, the Edo State capital.
According to the Group Managing Director of the company, Gabriel Ogbechie, the newly opened fuel station would give customers access to the same quality of service available at any Rainoil station, and that it will ensure that they also get value for their money.
“The petrol station that is being commissioned today is an addition to our fleet of petrol filling stations and is a significant addition to the existing Rainoil network stations across the country.
“I am glad to announce to you that as of today Rainoil has a presence in 26 states in this country and we are very happy to be in Benin City and to be in this particular location because Benin City is a town that is very important and strategic to Rainoil because when we talk of the Rainoil catchment area, the Rainoil sphere of influence, Edo State in general and Benin City in particular ranks very high in our reckoning and that is why we are sighting this befitting mega station in Benin,” he said.
Speaking to the newsmen at the event, Dr Ogbechie said that the motivating factor for sighting the station at the Benin bypass was strategically economic.
“I studied the traffic, and I know that a lot of travellers usually come from Lagos and when they leave Lagos, their next point of filling is in Benin. So, we decided that the Benin Bypass would be most appropriate for this purpose,” he explained.
