He said, ”We have been receiving complaints about gas dealing within Kafanchan and it is our responsibility to ensure that people live within a safe environment.
“Installing gas plants within a residential environment is a disaster in the making and that is why we always advise gas dealers to make sure that they erect their plants away from residential areas.
