SON Director General Osita Aboloma announced this yesterday during a visit to the scene of gas explosion at Sabo Tasha, Kaduna State, in which six people died.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the SON chief was represented by Nwaoma Olujie, Group Head LPG at SON. NAN also reports that Aboloma paid condolence to the Kaduna State government over the sad incident.
“We are determined to ensure diligent prosecution of importers, manufacturers and distributors of substandard LPG cylinders and other products, as provided for in SON Act Number 14 of 2015,” he said.
The SON DG said the management was saddened by news of the gas explosion, adding that the organisation commiserated with families of the victims as well as the people and government of Kaduna State.
He noted that “if only the necessary safety measures and precautions were put in place by the gas vendors, the disaster would not have occurred”.
Aboloma added: “Furthermore, for certified locally manufactured LGP cylinders, we wish to advise dealers and users to look out for SON Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme (MANCAP) logo and numbers in addition to the markings specified for the imported products.”
