“I am certain that customers who come to this station and every other AP service station will notice that we had more than a facelift; we built future-ready stations that are a pleasure to be in for customers while we provide excellent service in catering to their needs.”

He said, “With our Oniru station we are providing a glimpse of the direction in which we are headed. The station runs strictly on solar energy and has so far generated over 5,000 kilowatt-hours and in due time will begin to power the streetlights in its immediate vicinity.
