Many Nigerians today hailed Gov. Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State for his responsiveness as he rushed to the scene of a fire outbreak at Strive Energy Petrol Station, Ijigbo roundabout in Ado Ekiti, the State capital, to join the operatives of the State Fire Services to put out the inferno.
Ekiti State government has therefore stopped Petrol Stations located within residential areas from further dispensing of petrol. The petrol stations are to henceforth, sell diesel and kerosene only.
The governor gave the directive as a result of the fire outbreak today.
Mr Fayose, who rushed to the scene of the fire outbreak and promptly mobilised men of the State Fire Service to put out the fire, described the incidence as unfortunate.
He added that government would take urgent necessary decisions to avert future recurrences.
The fire incidence, which spread from the petrol station to the nearby Mugbagba areas of the town before it was put out destroyed properties worth millions of naira but no life was lost.
