Ogun State Commissioner for Transportation, Engr. Dairo Olugbenga, has affirmed the safety of the usage of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), towards converting vehicles from Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
Engr. Dairo, who made this known while fielding questions from newsmen in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, dismissed the fear of explosion being speculated around, noting that CNG is naturally less combustible than gasoline, odourless, clear, non-corrosive, and safer, which can only ignite five to 15 percent in the air, noting that the use of qualified technicians and quality materials were essential for conversion diligence.
The Commissioner said the Federal Government’s decision to make CNG a first choice for cheaper and cleaner energy, led to its introduction as an alternative to conventional petrol and diesel, to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal in the country.
He said the state government would ensure that materials for the conversion were certified by the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), while technicians that would be handling the fittings possess the necessary training and are certified by accredited institutions or organisations.
