The Chief Executive Officer of AP, Mr Olumide Adeosun, said immediately following completion, AP would look to retain the Enyo-branded stations which would operate side by side with the AP brand whilst leveraging the strengths of AP and its group companies.

He said the parties were committed to concluding the deal by the end of the first quarter of 2021.
