Tanker Drivers Resume Loading

Fuel queues, which have become strange features of the landscapes of most parts of Nigeria in the past few days, may disappear from today as the tanker drivers were reported to have called off their strike yesterday.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC in a statement yesterday claimed that the fuel tankers had resolved to call off the strike.

"Thank God that everything has been resolved, the Tanker Drivers have started lifting fuel and the Folawiyo Jetty is now a beehive of activities,'' said the statement signed by the Corporeation's Group Public Affairs manager, Dr Levi Ajuonuma. He also appealed to all stakeholders to join hands with the Corporation in the spirit of the season to ensure smooth supply of products to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians.
