PETROLEUM Tanker Drivers, PTD, branch of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, yesterday threatened to begin a nationwide indefinite strike from Monday, cutting off fuel supplies across the country over poor working conditions.
President of NUPENG, Comrade Igwe Achese who announced this after the meeting of NUPENG Central Working Committee, CWC, in Lagos, lamented that all efforts to avert the strike had been ignored by government agencies.
According to him, the strike would have started last Monday, but the national secretariat of NUPENG, pleaded with members of the PTD to shelve the action while NUPENG’s leadership sought for government’s intervention, lamenting that despite all letters, meetings and appeals to government agencies for intervention, there nothing positive came out as at yesterday.
