MBABANE – The Eswatini National Petroleum Company (ENPC) has concluded a survey to help it build fuel stations in rural and remote areas of Eswatini where they are needed.
Speaking during a presentation event today, ENPC CEO Nhlanhla Dlamini said “The company has done a survey of the possible sites that we want to build, particularly in the rural areas, because all the things that we should appreciate in terms of the existence of the ENPC is that we here to close the economic gap rather than the business gap.
For example, it doesn’t make business sense for the current oil company to build a fuel station in a place like where I’m from in Ngcoseni, even though that will definitely bring economic value. We need to close that gap and there are already sites we have identified through the survey where we need to go and build fuel stations.”
Dlamini revealed that they are tasking the ENPC to do this programme to take advantage of the benefits they have in terms of sourcing fuel, in order to decentralize the economic value of access to fuel.
