The Department for Petroleum Resources (DPR) has announced plans to close down illegal gas plants and outlets that do not conform with its laid down safety procedures.

The incoming DPR Zonal Operations Controller in Abuja, Mr Abudullahi Abbah, who made the assertion, said it would help ensure safety for all.

He also assured residents in the Federal Capital Territory that more surveillance and monitoring of petroleum product disbursement would be the agency’s watchword in 2017.
