The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has stated that non-compliance with safety guidelines by retail outlets is a major cause of gas explosions and fire accidents in the country.
This was even as it insisted that gas dealers in the black market were particularly culpable and should be held accountable for the incidents.
In a statement issued at the end of the zonal annual general meeting of oil and gas stakeholders tagged: Oil And Gas Safe Operations And Compliance: DPR As A Business Enabler in Warri, Delta State, Zonal Controller of DPR, Antai Asuquo, was quoted as saying that dealers’ lack of compliance with safety rules and guidelines had resulted in the loss of lives in the sector.
