Petroleum Tanker Drivers Deny Planned Protest
The Petroleum Tanker Drivers branch of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers has denied claims that its members are planning a protest.
The PTD National Chairman, Mr Augustine Egbon, said in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja that members of the union were not planning to embark on any kind of protest.
He said, “That is to cause an unfounded and dangerous panic in the supply chain of petroleum products distribution in the country through the spreading of fake and false news items.
“Our members are not embarking on any form of protest, and we are determined to continue our services to the nation.
“We wholeheartedly support the efforts of the government of President Bola Tinubu to put our economy on the right track for the good of all of us.’’
He further said that members of PTD were fully committed and united in their collective struggles, as they believed that workers who were united could never be defeated.
“The general public is implored to ignore these mischief makers, and security agencies are hereby called upon to fully investigate these panic-creating news items as the citizens are already going through enough tough times and situations,” he said.
