On Thursday, 29 October 2026, our Executive Director, Mohammed Salaudeen, PhD, participated in a panel discussion titled “Lubricants & Petrochemicals: Markets, Standards, Innovation, and Value” at the 2026 OTL Africa Downstream Week.
During the discussion, he emphasised the importance of educating consumers, mechanics, procurement professionals, and other industry stakeholders on making informed lubricant choices based on technical specifications, quality, and suitability for their intended applications, rather than price alone.
He highlighted the need to prioritise value over cost, uphold compliance with established standards, and embrace innovation as key drivers of growth, competitiveness, and sustainability in the lubricants and petrochemicals sectors.
