It appears the lingering fuel crisis will not disappear anytime soon as
the Petroleum Tanker Drivers Association have decided to stop the
lifting of fuel from petroleum depots across the country.
The body leadership sent out a stern warning to its members to stop lifting petrol from all depot.."Comrades/unit chairmen/executives, you are directed to suspend all
loading activities in all the depots as from Monday, 18th of May. There
will be severe sanctions for any chairman/others that does not comply.”
the message sent to the members of the association read.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com...No reason was stated.
However industry players say the tanker drivers are protesting the
non-payment of their transportation fees owed them by the oil marketers.
The oil marketers in turn claim they cannot pay the tanker drivers
because of the N200 billion subsidy arrears owed to them by the federal
government.
