Niger youth groups give trailer, tanker drivers 24 hours to vacate roads

The state Chairman of the council, Comrade Bello Barau Shariff in conjunction with other Civil Society Organizations in the State, issued this warning at a press conference in Minna.Northern Youth Assembly of Nigeria, Niger State Students in Diaspora, Concerned Shiroro Youths, North Central Youth Parliament , National Associations of Nigerian Students, Niger East Youth Frontiers as well as Muslim Students Society of Nigeria .

According to him, “the implications of this heinous act by these drivers who have constituted themselves not only as nuisance, but as a government within government, blocking and stampeding major highways at the slightest provocation, is that they are causing untold hardship and holding travelers to ransom, hence crippling and halting the day to day activities of other road users. This needs to be checked by authorities concerned or we would be forced to take laws into our own hands”.

“We implore them to be civil in addressing grievances rather than infringing on other citizens’ rights.
