The Petroleum Tanker Drivers
(PTD) association on Friday in Abuja denied that it threatened to embark on
strike.
A statement by the PTD Chairman,
Mr Salimon Oladiti, said it was very ”mischievous and unfounded” the news
circulating in the social media that the PTD Branch of NUPENG issued a
three-day ultimatum to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
”We strongly deny this
information which is false, unfounded and a calculated attempt to cause
mischief and panic in the country.
”As a matter of fact, the
leadership of the branch met with the Minister of Works, Power and Housing on
Thursday, Feb. 1 where comprehensive reports of all the ongoing repairs and
reconstructions of damaged highways were discussed and deliberated upon.
”Further assurances of immediate
palliative works on those that are in very terrible state presently were given.
”We are not unaware that our
highways have suffered long years of neglect by successive governments and
therefore appreciate the current efforts of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration.
”We assure all our members that
we shall not relent in ensuring that their interests and well-being receive
adequate attentions and considerations at all time,” Oladiti said.
