March 11, 2024. Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) has released 80 approved standards for compressed natural gas (CNG) for road vehicles and related appliances to the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI).
A statement issued by Mrs. Foluso Bolaji, Director of Public Relations in SON, explained that it marked the beginning of the journey towards safer, more reliable, cheaper, environmentally sustainable, and most importantly alternative fuel utilization across Nigeria for road vehicles and other CNG-related appliances.
Bolaji explained that SON’s commitment to excellence and innovation in line with international best practices has culminated in developing and approving these standards, representing a significant milestone in the efforts to promote safety and quality in the energy sector.
She further noted that the Presidential CNG Initiative is a component of the palliative intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and one of the many steps he has taken to ensure every Nigerian enjoys his Renewed Hope Agenda.
