HOW TO END THE INCESSANT ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THE LOADING,TRANSPORTATION AND DISCHARGE OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS THROUGH TANKER TRUCKS IN NIGERIA - KOGI STATE THROWN INTO MOURNING TODAY FROM ROAD ACCIDENT & TANKER TRUCK EXPLOSION (PART 1).

The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) is charged with the primary responsibility of the monitoring and control of the Oil and Gas operations in Nigeria, which include but not limited to Oil and Gas Transportation. The DPR has issued the Oils Mineral (Safety) Regulations and the Environmental Guidelines and Standards for Petroleum Industries in Nigeria (EGASPIN) and require any company that wish to operate or render services in the Oil and Gas Industry to apply and obtain a Permit from the DPR. This permit are in various categories, depending on the nature and scope of operation or services in the Petroleum Industry. These categories include (1) the General Purpose Category (2) the Major Category and (3) the Specialized Category. Please, take note that the essence of a permit is to regulate and control operations in order to eliminate the hazards associated with both the normal & abnormal operations or reduce the risk to as Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) or As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA). Permits issued for the transportation of oil and gas falls under the Major Category. i.e Haulage Services – Road Haulage, Petroleum Product Haulage, Domestic Waste Transportation. It therefore follows that the DPR MUST set a “necessary and enforceable” conditions for the permits issued for Petroleum Product Haulage in Nigeria. These necessary and enforceable conditions should be clearly communicated, concise and understood by the user of the permit (owners and drivers of petroleum products tanker trucks).
(1) How many of the owners and drivers of petroleum products tanker trucks are aware of the provisions of DPR Oils Mineral (Safety) Regulations and the Environmental Guidelines and Standards for Petroleum Industries in Nigeria (EGASPIN)?
(2) Does these permits issued by DPR contain “necessary and enforceable” conditions?
(3) Does the conditions contain responsibilities for emergency planning and control of major accidents?
(4) What are the responsibilities assigned on the part of the DPR to enforce the “necessary and enforceable” conditions and control major accidents involving petroleum products tanker trucks?

RECOMMENDATION
The provisions of the DPR EGASPIN in relation to Oil and Gas Transportation is as follows:

3.0 Road Tankers and Rail Wagons
(i) Standardisation of construction materials and proper operations are the major control to minimise or check accidents and leakages that will result in spillages.
(ii) Hydrocarbon emission from loading operations are generally controlled by the use of a vapour collection device manifolded into a vapour recovery unit.
(iii) Regular mandatory check on tyres and batteries before loading and haulage of tanks are carried out.

1.0 Environmental Management System.
1.1 Licencees/operators shall institute planned and integrated environmental management practices, aimed at ensuring that unforeseen, identified and unidentified environmental issues are contained and brought to an acceptable minimum.
1.2 Specific roles, responsibilities and authorities shall be defined, documented and communicated in order to facilitate effective environmental management.

As shown above, the provisions of the DPR EGASPIN in relation to Oil and Gas Transportation gives discretionary responsibility, advice and generally subjects the operators or service providers to “self-regulation”. This is the major reason for the incessant accidents involving Petroleum Products Transportation through Tanker Trucks in Nigeria.

SOLUTION

(1) The solution is to review the DPR Permit for Petroleum Product Haulage in Nigeria by removing it from the Major Category, placing it in the Specialized Category and ensure that specific, necessary and enforceable conditions are imposed on the operators or users of the permit,
(2) Nigeria Government should enact and implement the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations (COMAH), aimed to prevent major accidents involving dangerous substances and to limit the consequences to people and the environment of any accidents that do occur. Details will be treated in Part 2.

THE PICTURE BELOW DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR OUR TOWNS AND CITIES. THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS NOT A WASTE BIN.
Turning Nigeria towns and cities to look like their Europe and America counterparts may not be a problem, but we need attitudinal change through education, infrastructures and enforcement mechanisms in order to maintain and sustain the towns & cities outlook.
Blocked drains is a leading cause of flooding and flooding is a very devastating natural disaster. Think about our irresponsible waste disposal practices and contribution to the flooding before blaming the government. With this blocked drains, how do you expect the drainage system to function effectively and perform its duty of taking away rain waters from our environment into the rivers and other water bodies?
Let us take responsibility and stop the littering of our surroundings. Do not litter. Put litters in the bins provided and dispose waste properly.
Thank you for your decision to be an environmental sustainability champion.

PROPER HANDLING AND MANAGEMENT OF WASTES

Waste can be defined as any unavoidable material resulting from an activity or process, which has no immediate economic value to the producer and which must be disposed of.

Waste Management can be defined as supervised handling of waste materials from their source, through processes, to their disposal.

Waste Management Plan and Purpose
Waste streams generated by individuals, communities and industries fall into the categories of solid, liquid and gaseous waste. They can be classified into Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste. The purpose of a waste management plan is to specify a waste management system for the management and safe disposal of all waste generated, handled, transported and disposed, in order to minimize the impact on human health and the environment.

Each waste stream can classified, segregated and managed according to the problems created by that waste. These problems can be divided into: environmental impact of the waste on the health of people, public safety, workers safety surrounding the waste and regulations governing the waste. The solutions to the waste problems will be divided into waste reduction, recycling ideas, and waste management.
Goals and Objectives

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY FROM GREENER TECH CONSULTING NIG LTD
International Women's Day exists to highlight the entrenched disadvantage & inequity women and girls around the world face. The campaign theme draws attention to the difference individuals can make. Gender parity is highly regarded as a benchmark of progress and has a direct bearing on whether or not economies and societies thrive! According to Dupe Olusola, Group Head; Marketing at the PWC at the Nigeria’s International Women’s Day event where she delivered the keynote speech titled ‘Building A More Gender Inclusive Environment’, “I am a champion of equal opportunity. I believe that each gender; male or female, should be given the opportunity to prove themselves, should have the self-belief that they can achieve and attain whatever they believe they can do”.

We at GREENER TECH CONSULTING NIG LTD are inspired by the effort of highly spirited women who are empowered to speak their mind and who are not afraid of letting their voice to be heard. The fragrance that represents everything we stand for at GREENER TECH CONSULTING NIG LTD is inspiring women to speak out and share their voice and their stories with pride. Bold and strong, it is intended to inspire a feeling of power and bravery for the women

As the world mark this year’s International Women’s Day, let us strive to support our women and girls to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, particularly Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life-long learning opportunities for all `and Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

While drawing support for women and girls, we charge them to be committed to good virtues, moral values, sacrifice and take advantage of every opportunity to serve humanity and justify the call for gender equality and empowerment for all women and girls.

Our attention have been draw to the passion, zeal, commitment and selfless service of Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, Nigeria’s acting President of the Court of Appeal who spends her free time controlling traffic.

Following the murder of her son by a hit-&-run driver 8 years ago, Justice Dongban-Mensem, now spends part of her time controlling traffic in Abuja.

As a result, she thinks she can play a major role in changing the psyche of Nigerian drivers and ensuring proper knowledge of the road. .

The acting President of the appellate judicial arm of government, says many drivers in Nigeria do not understand the rules.

While she never knew the driver who killed her son, she is determined to touch as many road users as she can, and save as many lives as possible.

Apart from ensuring free flow of vehicles in the nation's capital, she also visits motor parks to educate drivers.
“The President’s approval of the appointment of Justice Mensem, followed the recommendation of the Chief Justice of Nigeria in line with the provisions of Section 238(4) & (5) of the 1999 Constitution as amended”, the statement said.
The 62-year-old has also set up a non-profit organization named after her late son to educate motorists about safety and she also plans to establish a driving school for potential commercial drivers, where they can receive training free-of-charge.

Service to humanity is the best work of life. The service of Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem is a clear demonstration of commitment and leadership by example. Though inspired to make a difference through the death of her son by the reckless and careless act of a "hit and run" driver, her passion for volunteerism, sacrifice and non-profit organizational programs is commendable and worthy of emulation. She is an epitome of "justice" for the society on and off her job.
International Women's Day!

Environmental Risk, Nuisance Abatement, Environmental Law, Practice and Legal Compliance Services.
It is widely held that the society (comprising individuals, group of people, companies etc.) in general owes a duty of care; not only to people, but to the environment.
Duties are imposed on operators of ‘economic activities’ to take action to prevent, limit or remediate environmental pollution and damage caused to land, water or biodiversity.

Compensation for environmental damage can be claimed through the civil courts, where it can be demonstrated that there has been damage resulting from negligence or nuisance. The costs associated with legal cases can be enormous, arising not only from defendant’s legal costs and staff time, but also from the claimant’s legal fees as well as the cost of compensation awarded to the claimant for the damage. We advance Environmental Engineering Principles and Principles of Environmental Risk in Legal Practice. .
