The executive governor of Anambra State, His Excellency,
Willie Obiano and popular Nigerian musician, Flavour, on Friday visited and
supervised the completion of Stanel Oil ultra-modern luxury facility in Awka,
Anambra State which is now 100% completed and expected to be commissioned soon.
Gov. Obiano who stopped over at the site after commissioning
road construction and street lights projects in the area applauded Stanel Oil
Chairman, Stanley Uzochukwu for his effort in bringing such a gigantic
investment to the state.
The governor was accompanied by his wife, Dr (Mrs)
Ebelechukwu Obiano, the state chairman of the ruling APGA, members of the
National and State Assemblies and other dignitaries.
Stanel Oil ultra-modern luxury facility, Awka branch will be
officially commissioned in few weeks and would be graced by many state
governors, political and business heavyweights from across Nigeria
.
.
The facility is strategically located between the state
owned university, Nnamdi Azikiwe University and Anambra State Women Development
Centre along Enugu – Onitsha expressway, Awka, Anambra State.
In his remark, the Governor expressed satisfaction on what
he saw on ground and commended the effort of the Chairman/CEO, Stanel Oil, Mr.
Stanley Uzochukwu for being patriotic enough to put up the huge investment in
his own state, saying the facility is the first of its kind in the history of
the state and noted that the project would add great value to the state’s
economy in particular and Nigerian economy in general.
“This is the first of its kind in Anambra. I met Stanley
over a year ago when he showed me a picture of what he could do and what he
already done in Jos, Plateau State. I was impressed and invited him to come
down and do something like that here in Awka, his state capital having received
a good report from a spy on his facility in Jos.
“Without wasting time, he responded and we gave him this
plot of land duly approved by the government for the project and he kicked off
immediately.
“I am particularly impressed with the speed with which he
has completed this project in just one year. The facility has 1.5 million
liters capacity that would sustain the state for up to 3 months of fuel
scarcity. The worshipping Chapel is another unique aspect of the facility. It
is unusual to have a chapel in a gas plant facility.
On job employment, Obiano said ”the company has already
engaged over 700 thousand youths in different capacities and the people that
would enjoy the Chicken Republic, French Bakery, Farmers’ market and whole lots
of other services are the Unizik students population and people within the
environment.
Expressing joy and satisfaction over the facility, popular
Nigerian music icon, Flavour, who simply described the facility as “Europe in
Awka” said he was very impressed and proud.
His words: “I am very much impressed with all I have seen
here. The place is well equipped and up to European standard. In short, this
place can better be described as ‘Europe in Awka.’
“I am particularly impressed because I must confess that
before now, there was no facility like this in the whole of Anambra and Awka in
particular.
“After the commissioning of this project, the negative
impression of some people that Awka is a ‘village’ would change and that will
make me proud.
“I am optimistic that the commissioning and operations of
this gigantic facility will go a long way creating awareness to the people of
Awka and their friends that the face of Awka is speedily changing,” Flavour
added.
Delivering a speech as the quest speaker of the occasion,
Chairman/CEO of Stanel Oil, Mr. Stanley Uzochukwu said the facility was a ‘one
stop’ one’ where everything is available and not just a usual filling station.
The oil magnet said, “in the Awka branch of the Stanel Oil
ultra-modern luxury facility, Anamberians and passersby could find different
customized products and services that are compared to none in the country. The
facility has the capacity of 1.5 million litres, capable of sustaining the
state for 3 months in times of fuel scarcity.
“We have farmers’ market here where all types of fruits,
food stuff and soup ingredients are bought and sold and can be delivered on
request at the appointed time using our awaiting delivery vehicles by our team.
“Stanel Oil had also acquired Chicken Republic’s franchise
and also bringing a French Bakery on board to operate within the facility to
carter for the needs of travelers, drivers, students and Awka residents in
terms of fast food and joints to make this place a reference place in Awka.
“Also to make it more unique and compare to none in Awka and
Anambra State at large, Stanel Oil, Awka branch has about one thousand sitters
capacity worship Chapel within the facility, a proof that in God, we stand.
“It is also worthy of note that Stanel Oil has started the
production of its, tyres, engine oil and gas cylinders of different sizes that
meet international standards and all of these shall be found within the
facility as well as Nigerian markets after official commissioning in a matter
of weeks’ time.’
“Stanel Oil Car Maintenance Centre is a ‘car clinic’ where
cars could be serviced and the best in the country and one of the top 10 best
in Africa with modern equipment obtainable anywhere in the World and the
services are available in the Awka facility.
“We also offer automated car wash and delivering services
and we will ensure that our customers’ satisfactions are met at all times.
These services shall be rendered 24/7 non stop and those are the areas we will
make the difference.
“We have supermarket, in-house pharmacy store, ATM machines
where buyers can easily access funds, bridal store, French bakery coming on
board, shopping mall, warehouse, big conference meeting rooms, lubb plant and
staff quarters, to mention but few. Summarily, it is a ‘one stop’ facility
where you have everything,” Uzochukwu said.
