CFAO, Motul open Ibadan station to tackle fakes

Motul, a high-performance lubricant distributed by CFAO Mobility, has strengthened its footprint in Nigeria with the commissioning of the Energy Switch Mega Station in Boluwaji, Ibadan, Oyo State.

In a statement on Wednesday, the firm stated that the newly opened station, supported and visibly branded by Motul by CFAO, is set to redefine access to original, high-quality lubricants for motorists, motorcycle riders, transport operators, and businesses across Ibadan and its surrounding communities.

In a market where the challenge of counterfeit automotive products remains a concern, this initiative delivers a timely solution, ensuring that customers can confidently access authentic Motul by CFAO lubricants that guarantee engine protection, durability, longer drainage intervals, and long-term savings.

Speaking during the commissioning, the General Manager of Winpart by CFAO, official Motul distributor, Mr Eric Fantodji, emphasised the importance of taking premium products closer to the people.

He said, “Ibadan is a key commercial city with heavy daily movement. This partnership is about access and trust, making sure that drivers and riders in this region can get original Motul products without stress, and enjoy better engine performance while saving costs in the long run.”

The Energy Switch Boluwaji station is positioned to serve not just as a fueling point but as a reliable automotive hub, where quality meets convenience. Customers can expect improved engine efficiency, longer drain intervals, and peace of mind with every purchase.

The partnership also reflects Motul by CFAO’s broader commitment to expanding across Nigeria through strategic collaborations that deliver real value to everyday road users.

As Motul by CFAO continues to deepen its presence in Nigeria, initiatives like this reaffirm its promise to support drivers and riders with products that perform under real Nigerian conditions.
