How to stop the fuel shege and save your business money

In the Generator Republic of Nigeria the sound of an engine at night is our national song. If you are a business owner you already know the struggle. About 86% of businesses in this country rely on generators to stay active. This is not a small issue. Nigerians spend $14 billion dollars every single year on fuel and fixing these machines.

Let us look at the math that makes business owners cry. The price of fuel is tied to the dollar exchange rate. There is a formula that determines what you pay at the pump. It is roughly 0.52 multiplied by the exchange rate plus 107. This means every time the Naira falls your profit goes with it.

But the price hike is not the only problem. We have the Alaye factor. Many filling stations manipulate their meters to cheat you. You might pay for 20 liters but you only get 18 liters in your tank. That is a 10% loss before you even start your generator. Then you have the Sikiru factor. Sikiru is your driver who might siphon fuel into a jerry can or use the company van for a side hustle to pick passengers from Lekki Elf bus stop to Yanoworo. Without tracking, you are losing millions to ghost fuel that never did any work for you.

This is why smart business to business companies partner with ResQ-X before the next hike happens. ResQ-X allows you to lock in prices early.
