He added that performance, professionalism and integrity are the cornerstones of the company.

Osho said they have been in business for 32 years and a major player in the downstream sector of Nigerian oil and gas, including the importation of various petroleum products and majorly bitumen.

“Bitumen is used for production of asphalt that is used for road construction, we have our depot or tank farm at Oghara, Delta state and we also have one at Port Harcourt. We bring in the product and supply directly to road construction companies, so we are a major player in meeting their material needs”, Osho added.

According to him, “We have been doing well, but the recent challenges of accessing the foreign exchange, our products are majorly import based, so the challenges of accessing the dollar, in bringing the product are the company major challenges. “We all know how difficult it is in the fluctuation and position of the Naira, is really affecting us. But we are putting in our effort”

On his advice to the government in creating an enabling environment for business to strive, he said: “We need to have stability in our exchange rate and easy access to foreign exchange which is dollar, because now everything has been deregulated, you can’t access it from CBN, you access it from the black market which will be very expensive and bringing in the product, which will make it also expensive.

Osho reiterated that their major clients are the road construction companies, according to him, “we are meeting up with their demands.”
