Shell service stations countrywide expect a resumption of vehicular traffic on the roads and an increased demand for fuel and other services.

The move follows the ease of restrictions announced by the government on the movement of private motorists, among other measures, during the current lockdown.

“Our customer champions are our real heroes. We deeply appreciate them braving the current conditions and all risks associated with the Covid-19 pandemic to show up and serve our customers,” said Gilbert Assi, the Managing Director at Vivo Energy Uganda.

The objective of the IGNITE initiative is to provide reassurance to customers by implementing enhanced site hygiene and safety measures in compliance with set Ministry of Health and World Health Organisation guidelines.

Over 150 Shell retail sites have provided hand wash and sanitizing facilities at various locations to enable customers keep their hands clean.
