In a bid to curb the frequent petroleum tanker crashes on roads, the Federal Government has expressed its intention to ban the importation of articulated trucks older than 10 years.
These were part of the resolutions reached by the Major Oil Marketers of Nigeria and the National Association of Road Transport Owners at the renewal workshop held on September 24, which has now been scheduled for implementation during a follow-up meeting held at the Federal Road Safety Corps national headquarters Abuja, on Monday.
It said the meeting also recommended that the SGF should consider securing a Presidential directive for urgent intervention in the provision of soft loans for truck renewal using a similar template as applicable to pharmaceutical companies and other sectors of the economy at the peak of COVID -19. It read, “Members further called for a timeline to be set for the enforcement of the maximum load capacity of 45,000 litres of petroleum products by trucks operating from the tank farms across the country.
Ban is not the solution but Good roads
Guess this is Chinese idea
Just on lips. No action.
We should be talking about fixing the roads and. Placing a ban on movement of these heavy duty vehicles during daytime
Ban ban ban ban ban
This man is now our presidency figure. Well-done sir
This is long overdue
Good move!!
FG is all about ban ban ban. Nothing constructive. You want to legislate every good thing into existence. Face front do the one wen concern u
Why not transport flammable products by rail. This is an obvious solution and people have been saying it since I was a kid. They do everything but the solution.
FG won't do the one that concern her, repair, construct roads.
The only thing this govt does successful is 'banning'.
Poverty capital flexing. as if buyers can afford newer trucks and poverty ridden folks can afford to buy the stuff carried on the shiny trucks
Whenever I see “FG to, FG may, FG set to, FG plans, FG might ..... I don’t take them serious .
These people are just foolish. They are not talking about proper and advanced training for the drivers. Make the profession more honourable, create micro ebony for training and certification! Dullards!
If this can be done, it will be the Decision ever for the Sanity of out Roads.. It's long over due to resist those coffin Trucks off Our Roads. Let the implementation starts immediately.. 👌
I said this people mission now is to drive us crazy with all this nonsense news. Ten years what? Is that the solution?
FG to do this and that... I hope it’s true this time
Is it The tankers or the Roads 🤦♂️ shameless looters
Repair our road first
Foolish set of people and they will allow people like dangote, bua and chisco to still import. What a shame.
All they can do is ban this, ban that. They can't think to provide solutions...😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Can this government take responsibility for once. Why can't the pipeline be fixed? How can we prevent pipeline vandalism? This government needs to tell us if transportation by trucks if now more efficient than pipeline.
Far from the solution to crashes
What happen to the ones on the road that are above 20years?
Still ban tanker drivers from taking hard drugs and alcohol.
Fix the roads, u know the problems, stop running in circles
I think most of them lack maintenance regime making them not road worthy.
What is the problem with our leaders? What happened to conveying of this products by train or pipelines? Or better still, intensify building of modular refineries to target some specific locations. God please give us the right leaders. These set of leaders are clueless!!
The real culprit here is bad roads after all some countries like India use older trucks.
Is rail not better? All these heavy duty trucks are part of things destroying our roads and causing accidents
Ban it and they will buy the latest ones with the N10k monthly FGN intervention funds. If the road is good, trucks will be having issues ?
How could they be sure it ain't the bad roads?
And what of the plus ten year trucks already in the cowntry?
FG no get sense
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I think the focus should be on good roads, Certified drivers and not just motor park assistant driving, regulate driving time and mileage, rest areas with mandatory stop of course security of the drivers and their cargoes. Trucks now uses electronic logs to ensure safety.
This will achieve nothing when maintenance is NOT enforced!
How do you control the ones that are outdated in the country?
Another audio ban!
Bad road is the problem. A brand new truck after 1year on Nigerian roads will fail brakes.
It's Official FG is Confused !!!!!!
O ya yin. 🙄🙄
Fake News
Even tie leather truck go crash,so fa na the same road una dey scam us say una done fix...
Rather develop the railway system for interstate transportation of PMS. Trailers have caused enough havoc already.
😂😂😂 The Nigerian government is always banning things.
Ban ban ban. How about banning you lot from public office.
Fg impose heavy duty on importation and expect people to do magic to buy recent cars
FG will ban nothing
Fix the F***king roads for goodness sake!!!! EndSARS EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA
FG is just daft! Heavy duty goods are to be transported by rail or on well designed roads.
Who told you it's the truck imported that is the problem? Mad people
This FG can be funny.....who those bringing them in please...God intervene in Nigeria
They ban everything. A government that runs on vibes and insha Allah
That word 'ban' has no effect in Nigeria...abeg post something nice
Clowns. It's the motor boys turned drivers that is the problem
Lol.. okay..
