Construction works are ongoing at some of petrol stations in the Ashanti Region, despite a presidential fiat ordering the temporary cessation\u00a0of the construction of facilities intended for use as gas or petrol\/diesel retail\u00a0outlets.<\/p>\n
Citi News<\/strong>\u00a0sighted construction work vigorously ongoing at a Unity Oil filling station, located at Krofrom, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n The supervisors said they were not aware of any directive to stop work, and its\u00a0management maintained that all requirements for the construction had been met.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n At Parkoso in the Asokore Mampong Municipality, a new Nasona Oil fuel station was being constructed, notably in a\u00a0waterlogged area.<\/p>\n “Recently, there have been explosions in the country. It happened at the Atomic junction in Accra so definitely, I have cause to worry,\u201d a resident of Krofrom said, as he expressed his fears to Citi News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This resident said he thought the government \u201cshould come out with strict rules governing the siting of filling stations. If they do that, I think the explosions will come down.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
