Ogun and Lagos State governments are collaborating with relevant stakeholders to work out the modalities to check incessant gas explosions in both states.

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun stated this during a visit to the scene of a gas explosion that razed Ogun State Property and Investment Corporation, OPIC Plaza in Ikeja, Lagos.

Governor Abiodun said the two states would work with the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, and others to ensure that all tankers carrying petroleum products were critically examined to ascertain their road worthiness. 

Governor Abiodun who commended the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, for its prompt response, gave the assurance that the Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, signed recently by the two states would be explored to enhance the safety of lives and property of the people. 

The governor who described the OPIC fire incident as unfortunate sympathized with the families of those that were caught in the disaster and prayed God to comfort them.
