The National Environment Agency launched specialized training sessions for petroleum station operators on Tuesday at the National Nutrition Agency facility. Participants traveled from regions such as Basse, Jarasoma, and Farafenni to learn environmental management and emergency response protocols. The program addresses rising health, safety, and environmental concerns related to fuel retail operations across the nation. Lamin B.J. Samateh from NEA's Environmental Impact Assessment unit emphasized that operators must understand their Environmental and Social Management Plans requirements. He warned that petroleum's flammable nature creates serious hazards when combined with traffic congestion and elevated temperatures.

Omar Sey from NEA's Technical Services Network encouraged participants to teach absent colleagues the safety measures they learned. The Gambia Fire and Rescue Service and Public Utilities Regulatory Authority contributed expertise on fire prevention, extinguisher usage, and regulatory compliance standards. Alieu A.B. Kambi from Halal Oil praised the initiative for helping oil marketing companies meet environmental permit conditions. NEA officials confirmed ongoing monitoring and audits will verify station compliance with safety requirements.
