Khartoum: Minister of Energy Engineer Al-Mo'tasem Ibrahim Ahmed praised Nile Petroleum Company's strategic role in securing fuel supplies and meeting the needs of key sectors, noting its contribution to maintaining supply stability and improving services to citizens.
According to Sudan News Agency, during a visit to the company's headquarters, the Minister reviewed its plans for importing, supplying, and distributing petroleum products.

He also praised the company's efforts to reduce petrol and gas prices and called for increased imports, expansion of the distribution network, improved customer services, and greater external investment to strengthen the company's resources and competitiveness.
The Minister commended the company's staff and affirmed the ministry's commitment to developing their capabilities through training, capacity building, and knowledge exchange. He stressed that the next phase requires greater coordination between state institutions and public- and private-sector companies to secure fuel supplies, stabilize the market, and improve services.
