Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has called on relevant government agencies to look into issues bothering on regulations, road worthiness of the modes of transportation of safety of trucks carrying inflatable products, including Compressed Natural Gas in the country.
Abiodun also promised that those whose properties were damaged or destroyed would be adequately compensated by his administration, while the state government would also take over the treatment of those in the hospital. “What has happened yesterday throws up a lot of questions, far ranging questions. The issues around safety, issues around regulation, issues around road worthiness of the modes of transportation, and issues around the required regulatory oversight for the entire industry must be looked into.
The governor further said that his administration would put in place the required legislation to provide the required oversight for the industry, adding that he has directed the Ministries of Environment and Transportation to ensure that the truck heads that are carrying petroleum products into the state are road worthy.
Governor Abiodun charged the Standard Organization of Nigeria to be on top of the fast evolution of the industry, saying that they should as a matter of urgency ensure that the standards of the CNG tanks used by trucks meet the required standards.
