Also speaking at the event, Chairman of the NNPC Retail Ltd’s Board andNNPC Chief Operating Officer, Gas and Power, Engr. Yusuf Usman, said the idea   of   NNPC   lubricants   was   conceived   long   ago   but   it   took   time  for   the products to be designed and perfected in order for them to meet the company’s brand-characteristics of integrity and quality.
