In the Chadian capital of Ndjamena, the government has demolished an estimated 62 petrol stations considered not up to security and technical standards. The demolition was carried out by security personnel under the supervision of the Ministry of Oil.
According to reports, authorities stated these stations sold poor quality fuel and their locations were a cause of concern for the safety of nearby communities. The Ministry said that the owners had been warned in the past to comply with regulations, but the warnings sent unheeded.
The director-general of the régulateur authority for Chad’s downstream oil sector (ARSAT), Idriss Abdel-Khalik Idriss, said an audit conducted by his institution revealed that of the 214 gas stations identified in Ndjamena, only 42 had met administrative, legal, technical, security and environmental standards.
