LASG To Seal Off Illegal Gas, Petrol Filling Stations

… Says Only 17 Gas Plants Have Valid Planning Permits

The Lagos State Government has announced that it would seal off all illegal gas and petrol filling stations in densely populated residential areas across the State.

This is coming on the heels of serial gas plant and petrol explosions across different similarly populated residential areas of the state.

Recall that, last Thursday, at least 10 persons died following a gas plant explosion in the Baruwa area of Alimosho, Lagos.

Spokesman, Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mukaila Sanusi, on Thursday, said that the Commissioner in the ministry, Dr. Idris Salako reached the decision at a meeting with his top officials.

The statement said the measure was adopted to tame the menace of incessant explosion of gas filling stations in the state.

Salako during the meeting with District Officers and Supervisory Directors in Ikeja, said that “it had become expedient to discourage the propensity to establish Gas and Petrol Stations indiscriminately in densely populated residential neighbourhoods across the State.

The decision will safeguard lives and properties, while maintaining the sanctity of the built environment,” he said.

He said that only 17 gas filing stations had planning permits, adding that, “all illegally built outlets, as well as those operating in densely populated residential areas, would be sealed off to avert further mishaps”.

Salako said the ministry would collaborate with other agencies including Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Lagos State Safety Commission, Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Petroleum Resources to safely decommission any sealed Gas/Petrol Filling Station.

He urged District Officers and Supervisory Directors to be alive to their responsibilities and uphold the Standard Operating Procedures of the Ministry, while warning that erring officers would be punished.

The Commissioner said breakers of government enforcement seals as well as owners of collapsed buildings, would be prosecuted in line with the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law 2019.
