The Petroleum Tanker Drivers, PTD, and other individuals involved in the distribution of petrol and other products have been instructed by the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Workers, NUPENG, to report to their duty posts 24 hours a day in order to ensure the uninterrupted distribution of fuel throughout the nation.
This order was given on Friday by Prince Williams Akporeha, president of NUPENG, who said it came after a meeting of stakeholders to ensure normal gasoline distribution throughout the entire nation.

The Union further ordered employees at petrol stations and depots to abstain from any unlawful activity or other improper behaviour that could contribute to the national fuel shortage that is already in place.
“As a result of a stakeholders’ meeting Downstream of the petroleum sector of the oil and gas industry, the leadership of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has again directed all its members involved in direct distribution chain, especially the Petroleum Tankers Drivers, Depot workers, and Petrol station workers to shun any form of illegal or sharp practises that will cause or compound the current perennial fuel scarcity,” writes Akporeha.
“All members are also directed to make themselves available at their various loading and distribution units round the clock to ensure adequate and unhindered distribution of the petroleum products across the nooks and crannies of the country.”
