There are fears that the country might be thrown into another round of fuel scarcity, as Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) have threatened to shut down operations over the deplorable state of roads.

The union has, therefore directed members to immediately embark on work to rule action with effect from tomorrow, in preparation for total withdrawal of their services with effect from October 8, 2021, if the Federal Government fails to address its demands.

“The list of these highways are endless and Petroleum Tanker Drivers have been going through harrowing situations, even while rendering selfless national services, to ensure delivery of petroleum products to homes and factories in every nook and crannie of this country, day and nights, in good and bad weather,” he said.

The union said it sees the failure of the Federal Government in this regard as height of insensitivity to the lives of innocent Nigerians, stressing that the union cannot continue to fold its arms, while its members are daily getting burnt everywhere. The union said the abuse was negatively affecting and impacting on the safety and control of drivers on the wheels, as well as the durability and sustainability of the highways.The council-in-session said it couldn’t fathom any logical reason for government’s failure to ensure compliance with basic tonnage requirements on highways.
