The cause of the explosion, the NNPC noted, remains unknown, but will be determined after a thorough investigation.
“Our priority at this time is the safety of nearby communities and the protection of the environment,” the statement read.
Odeh added that emergency response procedures had been activated, with the company working closely with authorities and community leaders to limit the impact of the incident.
