The governor’s announcement highlights the state’s commitment to prioritizing public safety and mitigating potential risks associated with CNG transportation and distribution.

“Following the minister’s visit, a collaborative effort has been initiated between governmental bodies and relevant agencies to implement stringent safety measures for the transportation and distribution of CNG across the nation.

“This proactive approach aims to mitigate potential risks and ensure the secure delivery of CNG to consumers, prioritising public safety above all else.” Governor Dapo Abiodun said.

The joint effort aims to introduce stringent safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future, ensuring the secure delivery of CNG to consumers.
