The Management of Nigerian Gas Company (NGC), has commenced repair work on the gas pipeline that exploded last week at Ugbokodo Community in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State.
An indigenous company, NANPIST Venture, was seen yesterday’s morning at the scene of the gas explosion mobilising equipment and clearing the surrounding bushes within the vicinity in order to have an unhindered access to the damaged points.
Speaking with Our Correspondent who visited the area yesterday, an Official of NANPIST, Mr. Kingsley Onaipia noted that the company was mobilized to site by NGC, adding that the evacuation was being carried out to enable NGC Management ascertain the level of damage before real work will commence.
But in a swift reaction,the Ugbokodo-Okpe Community, has however expressed dissatisfaction with the management of NGC for embarking on such an exercise without an input from the community indigenes on how their interest could be accommodated.
