Candef Energies Nig. Ltd. will commission a new filling station in Lokoja on Tuesday, alongside the opening of a second outlet for Treasures Eatery, in a dual event organizers say underscores growing private-sector investment in the state’s commercial landscape.
The ceremony is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, at the Candef Energies Filling Station in Phase 2, near Harmony Secondary School, Lokoja.
The filling station has been built with an emphasis on modern infrastructure, operational efficiency, safety and customer accessibility, according to the company. Its commissioning marks a further step in Candef Energies’ push to establish itself as a professionally managed energy brand in Kogi State, with management saying the outlet is intended to deliver reliable petroleum services while supporting local economic activity.
The company said it remains committed to upholding standards of professionalism, integrity and safety as it expands its footprint in the energy sector.
The same event will mark the opening of Treasures Eatery’s second outlet in Lokoja, extending the food-service brand’s reach to a wider customer base. The new location is designed to offer a welcoming dining environment, with the company citing quality meals and service as central to its expansion strategy.
Management described the move as a reflection of the brand’s confidence in the Lokoja market and its ambition to grow further within the hospitality and food-service sector.
Organizers are framing the joint commissioning as an illustration of how private investment is shaping consumer services and economic opportunity in Lokoja and across Kogi State. Government officials, traditional rulers, community leaders, business figures, industry stakeholders, customers and members of the media have been invited to attend.
The event is expected to draw stakeholders and well-wishers to mark what organizers describe as the beginning of a new chapter for both brands, as they continue to expand their presence in the state.
