The oil industry in Nigeria received a boost recently as an ultramodern luxury facility housing a 24-hour filling station, the first of its kind in South East Nigeria, has just been completed and will open for business in soon.
The facility which is a response to the Aku Luo Uno campaign of Willie Obiano, the governor of Anambra State, aimed at attracting Igbo entrepreneurs to invest in their homeland, also houses an eatery – Chicken Republic, French Bakery, Tyre Centre, Supermarket, Conference Room, Relaxation Lounge, Farmers Market, Domestic Gas Plant, Automated Car Wash, Lub Plant, Warehouse and a Chapel with state of the art equipment including a 3D Alignment Machine.
The facility, known as Stanel Oil, is owned by Stanley Uzochukwu and is located along the Amansea Axis of the Awka–Onitsha Expressway just before the UNIZIK Main Gate in Anambra State.
“This facility will run 24 hours with an underground capacity of 1.5 million litres that can serve the state for three months in the event of fuel scarcity”, Uzochukwu assured.
Uzochukwu revealed, during a tour of the facility with Obiano, that the governor personally invited him to invest in Anambra after a similar facility developed by his company was commissioned in Plateau State.
He expressed happiness with the secure and investment-friendly environment in Anambra and commended the ease of doing business in the state.
“I want to specially thank the governor and his wife because when we came in, our papers were processed without delay and we have been working day and night to finish on time and to meet expectations and standards,” Uzochukwu said.
