He said the agency would partner with technology experts to implement the technology in Nigeria, adding that all the necessary registrations would be done by Qcuboyds Nigeria Limited, to eliminate the incessant explosions and boost oil revenues in the country.
The Minister of State Environment, Sharon Ikeazor, said the ministry would support technologies targeted at reducing explosions at tank farms and fuel stations.
On his part, the chairman of Qcuboyds Limited Nigeria, Victor Folarin, said the technology had been approved worldwide.
