The Federal Government has begun a clampdown on illegal gas plants and roadside retailers of Liquefied Petroleum Gas , popularly known as cooking gas, an official said.
The policy, the government said, would require that the ownership of LPG cylinders rest solely with the dealers and distributors. Mr Nkanga further said that government was also clamping down on operators of illegal gas plants; those operating without a valid licence and others operating within residential areas.
“We even gave them two months within which they have to renew their licences; and we have decided to pull the full weight of the law on those operating without valid licences.
