Once the transaction receives regulatory approval from Ethiopian authorities, OLA Energy will take ownership of TotalEnergies Marketing Ethiopia's downstream operations, including more than 120 strategically located service stations, fuel storage facilities, logistics infrastructure, aviation fuel operations, lubricant business, and an extensive network of non-fuel retail services. The agreement represents far more...
