The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Wednesday assured motorists and residents along the Magboro axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway of safety around the scene of a gas pipeline rupture in that area.
NNPC’s spokesperson, Kennie Obateru, said the pipeline break which was caused by a construction company carrying out excavation work in the area resulted in gas leakage.
He said in a statement issued in Abuja that the leakage was promptly contained through the efforts of the NNPC team, officials from the Lagos State Government, and other stakeholders.
