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).
In a now trending video on X, the Nigerian government sent skit makers and comedians like “Ola of Lagos, Basketmouth” and host of others to India to do quality check for CNG.
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.
Another user identified as Arikeade on X shared her thoughts wondering why the government believe in content creators than professionals.
“their favourite artists and content creator over professionals” the X user posted.
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 X user posted
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.
