The Lagos State Government has placed embargo on the approval and construction of filling stations in all parts of the State till further notice, while a definite action will soon be taken on indiscriminate construction of event centres across the State, the State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Wasiu Anifowose has said.
Anifowose, who disclosed this on Tuesday at the ongoing 2017 Ministerial Press briefing in Alausa as part of activities marking the second-year anniversary of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration, said government has already decided not to grant construction permit for filling stations pending the inventory of existing ones.
Responding to questions on the recent oil spillage in Alimosho, Anifowose said the decision of government was necessary in view of the need to take proper inventory of the existing filling stations with the view to determining those that should be removed, all in a bid to ensure public safety.
