The shareholders also express delight in the N25 dividend by TotalEnergies, reassuring commitment to push the growth of the company.

Speaking on various schemes which have been adopted by some elements to clone and adulterate lubricant products, the chairman said it has become more difficult for the lubricants to be counterfeited with the security measures which the company introduced in 2021.

“Now, we have new cans and the cans of each of our lubricant lines are colour-specific; there are additional security seals on the caps and we have a barcode for each can. All of these undoubtedly provide extensive security for our lubricant.”

Meanwhile, the shareholders felicitate with TotalEnergies on numerous awards merited within the year.

The chairman said the company is delighted to achieve the awards in collaboration with numerous stakeholders

“In validation of the Company’s efforts at its reporting which meets international standards as well as its transparency in its reporting process, TotalEnergies Marketing Nigeria Plc was awarded the “Best Company in Reporting & Transparency” at the 2023 Africa Social Enterprise and Sustainability Awards. TEMN Plc also emerged the ‘Company with the Most Sustainable Stakeholder Engagement Initiatives at the Social Impacts & Sustainability Awards 2023. We are very proud of these feats which were achieved in tandem with our stakeholders,” he said.
