The NNPC made the commiseration in a statement issued by its Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Kennie Obateru, in Lagos.
Mr Obateru said that NNPC feels particularly sad at the loss of lives and property caused by the incident barely a few weeks after a similar incident at Iju Ishaga area of the state. He noted that the NNPC swiftly mobilised its Health, Safety and Environment Team, to join other relevant agencies to bring the situation under control.
This, he said, was in spite of the corporation’s pipelines not being anywhere close to the location of the incident. Mr Obateru called on operators of gas plants and other petroleum products facilities in the country to ensure strict adherence to safety rules and regulations.The incident claimed lives and left several persons with various degrees of injuries.
Commiseration doesn't do it, not by a mile. Pipeline and gas explosions are becoming too common.
A gas explosion, once again!
