Located along Egbe-Isolo road in Ejigbo local government area of the state, it witnessed a huge traffic of motorists in the first hour of operation.

 Managing Director, Petrocam Nigeria Limited, Patrick Ilo, said his company has embarked on solar-powered filling stations in the country to reduce dependence on the national grid for electricity.

“It is safer, cheaper and reliable to use solar form of electricity for operation,” he explained.

“I promised the nation that I am going to build a Mega Station which will have positive impact in the society without relying on grid supply to run the filling station. This is a major feature of this filling station and another feature is that the filling station has taken a new dimension in terms of values, beauty and presentation.”
