Chairman of NATA, Lagos State, Comrade Moruf Egberongbe, said: “As our slogan says, ‘No NATA, No Movement’, we are the backbone of the Nigerian economy, as we play a crucial role in keeping vehicles on the road and supporting the mobility of our nation.
“We are proud to endorse Hyde Energy’s lubricants, which not only empower our members with the right tools for their work but also enhance the quality of service we deliver to car owners across Nigeria.
“This initiative is a testament to Hyde Energy’s commitment to uplifting the automotive sector and ensuring mechanics are equipped for success. We are incredibly grateful to Hyde Energy for their vision and commitment to elevating the status of mechanics in Nigeria.”
