The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has clarified that the recent explosion at a filling station in Ikeja, Lagos, is unrelated to its Gas Marketing Ltd (NGML) and NIPCO Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations.
NNPC said in a press statement signed by it’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, that all NGML facilities in Lagos are operating safely and were not affected by the incident.

Below is text of NNPC’s press statement on the matter:
“The NNPC Ltd wishes to state that the reported explosion at a filling station in Ikeja, Lagos, has nothing to do with the recently commissioned NNPC Gas Marketing Ltd (NGML)/NIPCO Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Stations, which are currently functioning and running safely without any incident.
“The NNPC Ltd also wishes to add that the NGML was not affected by the explosion; it is not involved in the activities of the affected station and all NGML facilities in Lagos, including pipelines, metering stations, above-ground installation and CNG facilities are in safe operating condition.
