The company’s Revenue grew by 14.36% in FY’2019; as it recorded ₦139.8 billion in Revenue, compared to ₦122.2 billion recorded in FY’2018. This growth in revenue rode exclusively on the back of the company’s domestic sales of petroleum products within the period under consideration.

The company also recorded a decrease in its Net Finance Cost, which declined by 26.30% to ₦1.1 billion in FY’2019, from ₦1.5 billion in the corresponding period of 2018. This was solely driven by a 26.38% decrease in the interest on bank overdraft.
