The chairman of Ado-Odo/Ota local government area, Mr. Sheriff Adewale Musa, has ordered the vacation of Itori area of the local government where there is said to be gas leakage.
The chairman gave the order on Wednesday while receiving a report from the team of Shell Nigeria Gas led by Mr Tunde Olakeke the External Relations Manager that one of the gas pipelines along Itori Village via Iyesi Ota was leaking.
After an assessment of the site, the local government boss ordered that those carrying out one activity or the other in the area should vacate pending when the pipeline would be fixed by Shell.
Speaking during the inspection, Mr. Tunde Olakeke stated that it would require three to four weeks for Shell Nigeria to fix the damaged portions of the pipelines.
The Baale of Itori Community, Chief Adeolu Adeyinka, who was also present during the inspection of the damaged gas pipelines, appreciated the quick intervention.
The local government chairman applauded Shell for extending its corporate social responsibilites to Ado-Odo/Ota local government area through the road palliative measures linking Iyana-Iyesi to Itori community and the provision of good water project for Itori community.
He urged other companies to emulate the kind gesture.
