The Nigeria Army has commissioned its oil and gas filling station that was recently built in Minna, Niger state capital. Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin commissioned it over the weekend. The fuel station which runs under Nigeria Army Property Limited (NAPL) is an 8 pump oil and gas station built along Bakungu bye pass Minna.

The fuel service station has four pumps for petrol and one each for Diesel and Kerosene including a Supermarket and a Mechanic Workshop. It will operate a 24-hour service daily.

The Management of NAPL said the Minna Oil and Gas station is one among the ones NAPL Mega Stations the Army intends to establish across the 36 states of Nigeria and a super mega station of 56 pumps in Abuja, the Federal capital territory.

Why start in the sparsely populated north first and not from Nigeria's commercial centre; Lagos Hmm

Wasted resources because Fulani people prefer trekking with their cow to using vehicle and this is also a modern tech which is Haram in d north

Kano is the commercial centre.
Remember I did not say centre of industrialization

The question we should be asking is what business does the army have with owning gas stations??
Is the Nigerian army now a corporate, for-profit organization? Any people are here saying "nice one".
This country sef....

NA breaking new ground under PMB's administration. Kudos to Buratai as well.

He finally commented after his all-knowing Buhari has kept on disappointing him, left, right and center...

Hahahahahahaha!

A nice development

iliyande:
no more excuse for operation failure because of fuel

Abi. But it's one thing to have a filling station, it's another to actually have fuel. Expect our uniformed brothers to still come and brutalize us at the filling stations.

Shia!

Can a civilian apply 4 pump attendant?

Who will go there to rob. 24hrs is guaranteed.

In a shithole like this let the thugs have their own filling stations that way they can leave peacful law abiding citizens alone.

General sir i think if you use that money to build hospital or health centre it would have made a lot of sense to me sha.

They already have those ones

I want to know the basis for the NA gas stations?
Is it for the NA vehicles or for commercial purposes?
Is NA a for-profit organization?
I like how things start getting out of hand gradually and people are supporting it.
NA is a security outfit of the nation that has no business beyond securing the nation from external and internal aggressions. It started with politics. Now we cannot get them off politics. Now they are delving into Oil and Gas. We shall see.

Are civilians allowed to buy from this petrol station or it is strictly for khaki boys. I bet they will need to have military men on guard. Nice one anyway.

But seriously, wtf is this? Military engaging in fuel sale. It beats me

Its very wrong and should be illegal for NA to do such. Very soon we will be hearing things like u can only buy fuel from a NA gas station.

all na to chop moni, may God help us

correctty:
beautiful without fuel

Persimist

Good example by the military. Ministries and parastatals take note. We must survive.

I saw people queuing orderly for fuel and kerosene for the first time in a long time at NAPL. But their supply isn't that much though and they dont give more than 15 litres for cars and 5litrrs for bikes and kekeNapep. I hope it improves. Kudos NA.

Not a new thing

Since wen da launch dat filling station, na only Kerosine dem dey sell. Endless queue @ d station.

papawemba:
Can we, bloody civilians, get petrol from this amu army fuel station?

One thing i am sure of at this fuel station is that if you do anyhow you go see anyhow.

people of your kind don't see anything good in what people do. shame

hmmmm, the only nice thing about this is the 24 hours operation, I think Nigeria should start operating on a 24hrs basis, oh insecurity. It the Military sha, security is assured atleast

Mustay:
I think this should have been brought to PH or any other commercial city - I want to see if the people will be orderly or not at such stations especially during scarcity.

To Ph? I don't get it. Is Niger State outside Nigeria? If it's on account of commerce, why not Lagos or Kano? Couldn't the fact that Niger State is strategic and central to the three regions (NW, NE and NC) of Northern Nigeria, especially proximity wise, be a key factor in the siting of the fueling station? Also, the greater chunk of military operations is in the North due to the insurgency...shey u get the sense wey I dey make, u too try reason am.
