UR Fuels, an on-demand fueling company has launched in Nigeria. This is in a bid to swiftly deliver fuel to customers. The company supplies petrol and diesel to companies and individuals upon request at specific Lagos locations and plans to expand across the country soon.
UR Fuels Founder and CEO, Ugo Nwobodo reveals that the platform was founded in a bid to bridge the gap of inconsistent power supply in the county. According to him, most homes in Nigeria use generators as a substitute, most of which are powered by gasoline and diesel.
