A recent incident involving a CNG-powered car explosion in Edo State has raised alarm online, especially as the government has been urging citizens to convert their vehicles to compressed natural gas (CNG). The explosion has fueled concerns about the safety of such conversions, leading to public debates on the viability of CNG as an alternative to traditional fuel.
One controversial comment reflected the growing fear: “Na to Dey ask Bus drivers if na CNG or Fuel they are driving on, if na CNG I no enter š¢.” This statement highlights the distrust some Nigerians now feel toward CNG-powered vehicles, despite the government’s push for a cleaner and more cost-effective fuel alternative. Safety assurances will be crucial in restoring public confidence in this transition.
