The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has alerted members of the public to desist from patronising uncertified Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) centres in order to safeguard their lives and properties.
SON’s Director-General, Dr. Ifeanyi Okeke made the appeal in a statement on Saturday signed by Mrs. Foluso Bolaji, Director Public Relations Directorate, SON, saying the public warning became inevitable following the recent explosion at the NIPCO’s CNG Refueling Station in Benin City, Edo State.
While commiserating with those affected by the incident, the SON said it would not tolerate any attempt to circumvent the laid-out standards, guidelines, and procedures for the CNG conversion initiative.
According to him, the organisation is working tirelessly with the relevant stakeholders to ensure the federal government actualises the CNG conversion initiative.
