‘Most Nigerians use fake engine oil’

A vast number of Nigerians use improper roadside lubricants that do not go through testing, which sometimes affects their equipment or vehicles, an energy expert, Engr Kayode Sote, has said.
Sote, who is the principal partner, Lubeservices Associates, spoke at a press conference to flag off the 2nd Nigerian Lubricants Summit 2015, where he emphasised the need for Nigerians to be aware of the quality of lubricants that are used in their cars and machinery
He explained that the summit was an avenue to inform and educate stakeholders on the quality of lubricants in the market and to promote the marketing potential of lubes manufactured locally.
Managing Director of Lubcon Ltd, Mr. Taiye Williams, stated the need to sanitise the lubricant sector on growth in the oil and gas industry, adding that the summit has been endorsed by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria and Department of Petroleum Resources.
The 2nd Nigerian Lubricants Summit is scheduled to hold from November 24 to 26 at the Federal Palace Hotel Lagos.
