Breaking: Tanker owners, drivers suspend nationwide strike
Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) has suspended its nationwide strike.
National President of NARTO, Yusuf Lawal, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.
NARTO members had threatened a shutdown starting Monday due to the high cost of automotive gas oil (diesel), which is essential for fueling their trucks used in transporting petroleum products across Nigeria.
The suspension followed a meeting of the association with the Federal Government and stakeholders on Monday after the tanker drivers stopped lifting petroleum products.
The NARTO boss also said the oil marketers had increased the freight rate of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N32 but could not give the new amount.
