“We are open for business in all our stations in Ibadan. We are not selling above that. We are known for selling quality products. It is not about the profit, we owe it as a duty to reduce the sufferings of the people. And one of the ways is to sell at a very good price. At any of our stations, a liter is a liter,” he assured.
