August 9, 2017 AdminLeave a comment

In a notice sent to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), Mobil Oil Nigeria has informed dealing members and the investing public of its change of name from Mobil Oil Nigeria to 11 Plc.

The change of name will take effect on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Friday 11th August 2017.

— Background to the name change —

NIPCO Plc. had last year acquired a 60% stake in Mobil Oil Nigeria from Exxon Mobil of the USA in a deal valued at $300 million.

NIPCO had indicated that the company would embark on a name change, excluding the Mobil brand of lubricants. NIPCO had few months ago launched a Mandatory take Over (MTO) of shares held by minority owners.

— Implications of the name change —

Mobil will have to embark on a rebranding campaign that could cost it hundreds of millions. Mobil, a major petroleum marketer has over 200 stations which, would have to be repainted.

In addition, the company may need to run a public relations campaign informing the public of the name change.

Half year results by the company showed a massive decline in profit before tax due to a change in the company’s pension scheme.

Mobil Oil Nigeria was incorporated as a private company in 1951, became a public limited liability company and was listed on the NSE in 1978.

Mobil shares are currently trading at N226 on the NSE. Year to date, the shares are down 15.8%.

LOCALLY-ASSEMBLED VEHICLES TO GET SPEED LIMITERS

As part of efforts to reduce the rate of speed-related accidents in Nigeria, the National Automotive Development and Design Council has directed all vehicle manufacturing plants in the country to install the speed-limiting device in their vehicles.
A deadline for compliance on the installation of the device in all vehicles being imported into the country has also been given.
AUTO POLICY CAUSING HIGH MARITIME JOB LOSSES – EXPERT

In a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, a member of the Presidential Taskforce on Customs Reform, Mr. Lucky Amiwero, has called on the Federal Government to review the policy, due to its negative impact on the economy.
He said, “The impact associated with the implementation of the auto policy is as follows: the diversion of cars carrying vessel to neighbouring West African ports as a result of high tariff on imported vehicles; and the reduction of the maritime workforce by 70 per cent, which affects mostly licensed customs agents, importers, dealers and Nigerians abroad.”
UNDERSTANDING THE HISSING & SQUEAKY SOUND FROM TRUCKS

Ever wondered why trucks and buses make funny squeaking and hissing sounds? Well, the squeaking is the air escaping after braking and the hissing sound is the automatic bypass safety valves at work, ensuring the air pressure remains at the correct level.
Since a main advantage of air-brakes systems is their ability to use air to operate, the compressor is constantly kicking on and kicking off to refill the reservoirs with pressurized air. When the compressor builds too much air, the valves open, producing that loud hiss which probably gets some of us wondering…What the heck is leaking..lol!
SAFETY TIPS! COPING WITH POTHOLES

Hitting potholes can throw your vehicle\'s front end out of alignment. If you feel your car \"pulling\" during driving, that\'s a clue that you could have a problem.

Check the tread on your tyres. Uneven tread wear can be a sign of misalignment. If you hit a severe pothole, have the vehicle\'s alignment and tyre balance checked.

When you hit a pothole you can damage your tyre and/or the metal wheel of your vehicle. Keeping your tyres properly inflated will help reduce damage from potholes and other road hazards.

The impact of potholes on tyres increases dramatically with speed and can cause hidden, internal damage that could lead to tyre failure weeks, or even months, later. It\'s best to avoid potholes entirely, but if that\'s not possible, don\'t brake during the pothole impact. Instead, apply brakes before hitting a pothole and release them just before impact. Braking during the impact sets up the tyre and wheel assembly for a \"solid hit\" against the edge of the hole. Less severe damage occurs when a tyre is rolling than when it is skidding over a hole during braking.
