CNG tricycle operators in Nigeria have been warned to avoid smoking and overloading while operating their vehicles. This warning came from the union leaders of the tricycle operators, who emphasized the dangers associated with compressed natural gas (CNG).
According to the union leaders, smoking is highly prohibited while operating CNG tricycles because anything related to gas is highly inflammable. This caution is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of both the operators and passengers.
In addition to the smoking ban, operators have also been advised against overloading their tricycles. Overloading can lead to mechanical failures and increase the risk of accidents, which could be catastrophic given the use of CNG.
The education campaign by the union aims to enhance safety standards and reduce the risk of accidents involving CNG tricycles, which are becoming increasingly popular as a mode of transportation in Nigeria.
