Petroleum Tanker Drivers, PTD, branch of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas
Workers, NUPENG, yesterday, directed members to begin nationwide indefinite strike and shut all loading depots and fuel
terminals until further notice.
The workers are protesting non-renewal of their Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA,
that expired three years ago, deplorable conditions of nation’s high ways, alleged harassment by security, especially Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, and plans by Capital Oil Plc to declare 2000 members redundant due to its unresolved
issue with Petroleum Products Marketing Company, PPMC.
National Chairman of PTD, Mr. Salimon Oladiti, told Vanguard, yesterday, that there was no going back on the strike as it was
decided by the organs of the union.
According to him, the strike will be total as loading depots and fuel terminals nationwide will be shut down.
