Located on the road to Rwanda, this location represents an ideal location for a market entry for SP,” the CEO of SP Rwanda, Yves Legrux, said<\/p>\n ‘From this location, we look forward to providing customers with their first Rwandan experience on their way to the country of a thousand hills. We are convinced that this first site will not be the last and we look forward to many more,” he added.<\/p>\n Since its inception, SP has moved petroleum products from Tanzania to Rwanda taking advantage of the long-standing positive trade relationship between the countries, the firm observed.<\/p>\n For More News And Analysis About Rwanda<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emmanuel Ntirenganya Africa-Press – Rwanda.
