Adisa Aliu’s Great Exploits With Matrix Energy

The new era in Nigeria has been met with all kinds of responses. For those intent on making trouble, one needs only point to the doings of President Bola Tinubu to shut them up. Others are honest, recognizing the president’s work but also declaring that people like Abdulkabir Aliu are helping to make things easy for the new administration. This is the truth and another reason to celebrate the contributions of Aliu and his Matrix Energy group.

Aliu is no ordinary man. Among oil and gas tycoons, he is widely known as one of the most insightful and fair. Nothing has corroborated this prestige more than the current state of the commercial side of the fuel industry. Even as different petrol fuel stations are exaggerating the prices and adjusting their metres to make ridiculous profits, Aliu’s businesses insist on fairness and decency.

According to some of the people that have benefitted from his goodwill, the fuel stations of Aliu continue to sell at the normal rate. They are not yielding to the temptation of undue profit. Instead, they are giving Nigerians hope and a refreshing opinion of businessmen in general.

It is not surprising that Aliu’s fuel stations are being fair. Last time there was a spike in the price of fuel, Matrix Energy distribution stations stuck to the normal rates, never going beyond. They also never considered using this as an opportunity to attract new customers by advertising their prices. Instead, they simply served those that came to them.

Of course, all of this matches the businessman vibes that Aliu gave off the very first time he entered the public eye. That sense of being even-handed has never left him. It is no surprise that he has only become more popular since the subsidy removal. The coming weeks will likely see him ascend to a new height in the hearts of those that benefited from his fairness.
