Its National Secretary, Mr Olukayode Solomon, made the clarification in a statement issued on Wednesday in Lagos while commiserating with the families of the victims of the explosion.
He said: “It is important to state clearly that the outlet in which the explosion occurred was specifically an acetylene gas outlet. “On the contrary, industrial gasses such as acetylene and oxygen usually pull down structures around the scene of the explosion because of the high pressure of the industrial gasses as well as the very heavyweight of the industrial gas cylinders.
“The regulation of acetylene gas, oxygen gas and the other related gasses is presently located within the federal ministry in charge of industry.
Seriously?
