to actively delve into hosting webinars and workshop for its members and also affiliates of the lubricant industry. LUPAN has formed relationships with notable organizations in the oil and gas industry both locally and internationally, and due to its positive impact in sector, it has gained recognition both regionally and globally as a reference point for in- formation concerning the Nigerian mar- ket. This has led to the Association being invited as an attendee and in some cases a participant to the following confer- ences and summits: • The 1st Nigeria Quality Summit; • The Nigerian Lubricant Summit, sponsored by one of the members of the Association, LUBCON Limited.
• Oil Trading and Logistics Expo, by OTL Africa Downstream, wherein the Association made a presentation on invitation in 2019.
• ICIS Base Oils and Lubricant Confer- ences.
• Argus Africa Base Oils and Lubri- cants Conference, held in South Af- rica in 2015, at which the Association made a presentation, alongside other members.
To deal with the problem of substan- dard lubricants in the Nigerian market,
LUPAN is supporting more aggressive approaches by regulatory agencies in- cluding adverts in newspapers, spon- sored articles in mainstream newspapers, newspaper editorials, road shows, posters and bill boards in strategic positions; ra- dio adverts in all languages including vernacular, in particular the local varia- tion of English language, TV adverts and mini TV series sponsored by agencies and regulatory bodies on their own or in col- laboration with the private sector. In the next five to ten years the Asso- ciation plans to be a major player in the international lubricant market through adopting strategic and dynamic ways of putting its members amongst the world leading lubricant brands, and positively contributing to the sector’s best practices and policies. While the Nigerian lubricants mar-
ket has a long way to go to deal with the challenge of substandard goods and ad- equately supply the lubricants needs of its market, organizations like LUPAN are a necessity to facilitate close collabora- tion between the players in the industry. This collaboration will play a vital role in advocating for better policies and also strengthen the fight against sub-stan- dard products in this market.
