From Maurice Okafor, Enugu.
One good thing going for Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, the Enugu state PDP governorship candidate, ahead of the 2023 general elections is that residents of the state are already reaping from some of his assets.
Far from material the resources each of the candidates spends in their respective vigorous campaigns that have enveloped the state, Dr Peter Mbah’s asset in the Oil and Gas Industry is currently leevaraging Nigerians resident in Enugu state from the economic hardship imposed by acute petrol(PMS) shortage across the country.
Checks revealed that the fuel stations belonging to Pinnacle Oil Ltd established by Dr Peter Mbah. are among the few filling stations in Enugu metropolis that currently sells petrol on daily basis at the normal pump price of #185 per litre.
The Pinnacle filling stations goes the extra miles in reducing the pains of commuters with a culture of partial openings on Monday for the sole purpose of dispensing fuel to commuters, whereas other dealers stick to complete 24 hour shut down over fear of attacks from unknown gun men.
It is sad to mentionl that every Monday of the week has continued tn be observed as self imposed and compulsory holiday in the South East zone of the country as a consequence of deadly operations of unknown gun men.
It is only but a few business enterprises with passion for human beings who dare take the risk to render their services to the general public on Mondays, most especially in Enugu state.
Pinnacle Oil ltd is among such business enterprises with passion for human life. As can be observed from the photograph above, commuters are already cueing up at Upper Chime, New haven Enugu fuel station of the company, to buy fuel at normal pump price. when sales will begin in the afternoon. No other major fuel station sells even for an hour on Mondays.
Many of the commuters interviewed expressed their support for Dr Peter Mbah and tasked him to build more of Pinnacle fuel stations across the state outside the metropolis, as a measure of curtailing the pains of sub urban dwellers inflicted by increasing cost of fuel .
Checks revealed that a litre of fuel sells between #270and #300 naira in most private filling stations in the city while the price goes up to #350 in Enugu state sub urbans and in the rural areas.
