CNG cylinders safe with correct handling – PCNGI
The Presidential CNG Initiative, PCNGI, has maintained that when handled correctly, Compressed Natural Gas cylinders pose no risk to motorists and users.
PCNGI in a statement signed by the Programme Director, Engr. Michael Oluwagbemi expressed his heartfelt sympathy to those injured at the NIPCO CNG Station at Ikpoba Hill, Benin City.
Oluwagbemi explained that a thorough examination of the cylinder involved in the incident showed it had been welded, modified, and was not approved for use with CNG.

He noted that the police, regulatory authorities, and the management of NIPCO are conducting a detailed investigation into the incident, with PCNGI coordinating closely with them.
This incident, Oluwagbemi stated, underscores the importance of the upcoming Nigeria Gas Vehicle Monitoring System, a joint effort by PCNGI and our partners (SON, NMDPRA, NADDC, and FRSC), aimed at “identifying and addressing bad actors in the ecosystem to ensure that the safer, cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable fuel source remains risk-free for everyone”.
He urged the public to “use only accredited conversion centers to ensure their safety”.
