Petroleum Tanker Drivers embark on strike action

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.
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.

    They are overdoing it and I don't blame them, I blame the Govt! How can some people be holding us to ransome? Whatever it is it that you want, state it and if the govt refuse to do it, the public will talk. And it's not like U guys are selling @87 self, it's still N120 so whats dier problem? Danfo kuku dey town wella

    We need to find another way of getting petrol to the pumps in Nigeria. This strike thing all the time is getting out of hand. Let's start now and build the rail infrastructure instead of being held hostage all the time. Enough of all this nonsense.

    The trust remains that we need to do away with this subsidy of a thing. GEJ pushed for that we made politics of it, see where it has brought us to
