The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited Retail has commissioned its first technology-powered self-service smart station along Bill Clinton Drive, Airport Road, Abuja, in a move aimed at transforming the country’s downstream petroleum retail sector.
The facility, which operates round the clock, is designed to provide customers with faster, more convenient, and technology-driven services while expanding the range of offerings available at conventional filling stations.
Speaking at the commissioning, Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Ltd., Dr. Mumuni Dagazau, said the facility reflected NNPC Retail’s commitment to innovation, convenience, operational efficiency and improved customer experience.
Dagazau commended the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) for providing the land and supporting the partnership that facilitated the development of the project.
The Managing Director of NNPC Retail, Mr Huub Stokman, said the facility demonstrated the transformation taking place in Nigeria’s downstream industry and the company’s determination to respond to consumers’ growing demand for quality, speed, convenience and reliable services.
According to him, the smart station allows customers to independently dispense fuel and complete transactions, giving them greater control over the quantity of fuel purchased.
Beyond fuel dispensing, the facility features electric vehicle charging points, an automated car wash, a lubricant service bay, and LPG dispensing services, alongside other lifestyle offerings.
NNPC Retail said it plans to further expand the station’s energy solutions to include Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
The commissioning marks a new phase in NNPC Retail’s drive to transform conventional filling stations into smart energy, mobility and lifestyle destinations across Nigeria.
The company said the initiative would contribute to a more convenient, technology-driven, and customer-focused retail experience in the country’s downstream sector.
