The Nigerian government have sent skit makers and comedians like "Ola of Lagos, Basketmouth" and host of others to India to do quality check for CNG.
Nigerians have condemned the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government for sending comedians and skit makers to do quality check of the Compressed National Gas (CNG).
The video which has been making the rounds on social media has spark reactions from Nigerians.
Commenting on the development, a X user with the handle #ourfavoriteonlinedoc blasted the government for ignoring engineers and spending money on sending skitmakers to do a check on CNG.
“This is quite saddening tbh.They didn’t send professors of engineering.”
“They didn’t send PhD researchers and MSc students in technology from the country’s best universities.”
“They didn’t send people who have the professional competence to analyse the innovation and recommend it for the public.”
“They sent Ola of Lagos who will come back just to roll on the floor and scream “put CNG in your car you will love it”.What a shame.” he posted on X.
Another X.com user identified as #Arikeade, wrote “their favourite artists and content creator over professionals."
#frankobaressi wrote, “This is what happens when we let touts handle the affairs of this nation. They're hell-bent on defying the laws of logic.
“Students nowadays are stuck between striving for good grades or making money. It’s either Isaac Newton or Pablo Escobar.”
The Nigerian government has been promoting the use of CNG for buses as against use of petrol, canvassing that CNG is safe and cheaper to use.
There have however been concerns on the safety of CNG, especially given explosions recorded by vehicles using CNG in the country.
