Northwest Petroleum and Gas Company Limited, an indigenous petroleum products marketing firm, has said its new ultra-modern filling station in Lekki is in line with the drive for massive expansion of its retail business, The Punch reports.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Winifred Akpani, said the company had embarked on the construction of new mega filling stations in strategic and high-impact locations in major cities across the country. She said at the inauguration of the new Lekki station that three additional stations were under construction with more projects starting soon.
