FILLING STATION - TONIMAS

Tonimas was founded in 1981 by late chief Anthony Enukeme Tonimas he ran this business successfully for many years before he died in 2020 at the age of 76 years old.

I like buying from this petrol station because they always sell at the government approved rate. Again, their fuel is good fuel as against what we get from at other random petrol stationins, their meter is good too.

Their customer service is top notch and their contact center are up and doin. Above all, I love them because their branches can be found in all corners of the country and this makes banking very convenient.

This is in compliance with social distancing as the covid 19 protocols requires, all of these customers were seen wearing their face masks awaiting their turn to enter the banking hall, I only used their ATM.

For the purpose of this contest, I went there in the morning for a survey for a Snicker i wanted to gift myself. When i arrived, they weren't open yet, I continued to work.

I am considering checking out the Snicker at Ariaria international market.

This pharmacy is located at Immaculate junction. It is the place i normally buy drugs from. They have many nurses to attend to people. They also have a consultant who can read test result and prescribe treatment. If you intend to meet the consultant, you must visit the pharmacy early enough, before 9am.what3words

When I got to the pharmacy, they had not opened for the days business, I took some pictoral and continued to work, after work, i came back again. The shop is divided into two sections, one section for provisions and the other for drugs.
