AMFSON returns with inauguration of national exco

The Association of Mega Filling Station Owners of Nigeria (AMFSON) has inaugurated its national executive committee with Chief Davison Nwankwo as the national president.

The inauguration ceremony which held in Port Harcourt marked the full return of the umbrella body of owners of filling stations branded in NNPC colours across the country.

The rejuvenation of AMFSON is coming as the nation continues to battle epileptic supply and high cost of petroleum products across the country.

Prior to the inauguration ceremony, members of the association who converged in Port Harcourt from across the country lamented the harsh operating environment under which their members were operating.

According to them, some of the challenges include rising energy costs to run their outlets, huge transportations costs in ferrying products to their stations as well as shrinking margins in the sell of products.

Addressing AMFSON delegates shortly after the inauguration, the National President, Chief Davison Nwankwo, expressed gratitude for the confidence reposed in him by the members in asking him to pilot the affairs of the association.

Nwankwo, who is also the Managing Director of Deez Oil & Gas Limited, assured members that the business interest of AMFSON members would be fully protected under his leadership.

He further assured that AMFSON would constructively engage the leadership of the NNPC Limited in order to ensure that the businesses of  its members yield positive returns on investment.

Earlier, the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of AMFSON, Ambassador Kenneth Nwachukwu, recalled that AMFSON came into existence in 2010 with the aim of protecting the interest of its members.

Nwachukwu therefore urged AMFSON members to remain united and committed to the cause of the association in order for them to derive maximum benefits from the association.

The inaugurated national executive committee of AMFSON includes Chief Davison Nwankwo (President), Barr Jacob Obande (Vice President), Ambassador Kenneth Nwachukwu (National Secretary),  Obi Okechukwu (Publicity Secretary) and  Comrade Prince Omugbe (Treasurer).

Others are Hon Ejike Amedu (Public Relations Officer), Toyin Ogunwole (Zonal Vice Chairman, South-West), Emmanuel Okon (Zonal Vice Chairman, South-South) and Salem Ahmed (Zonal Vice Chairman, North-West).
