Nigeria - Total's Downstream Assets.


Incorporated as a private firm in 1956, Total Nigeria PLC became public in 1978, and is today quoted on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. Its main activity is marketing of fuels and LPG. But it has diversified into the marketing of non-fuel products, through two channels: the Network and General Trade.

Since its first filling station at Herbert Macaulay Street, Yaba Lagos in 1956, Total has expanded its business through more than 500 retail outlets, corporate customers and organisations being served through six regions: Lagos, Mid-Western, Eastern, Far North, North-Central and Western. It has: bulk storage facilities at Apapa, Ibafon, Kano, Kaduna and Bukuru Depots; three lubricants blending plants at Koko in Delta State, at Kaduna in Kaduna State and Apapa in Lagos State; and 10 LPG bottling plants and a coastal storage in Apapa, Lagos. Total is one of the two larger suppliers of jet fuel to the aviation business in Nigeria at Lagos Airports (domestic and international), Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt airports.
