The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC started its week with an engagement with critical stakeholders in a bid to find lasting solutions to the road network challenges and other lingering issues.
Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mele Kyari while engaging the stakeholders said the move was a follow-up to the corporation’s efforts in sustaining the current smooth supply and distribution of petroleum products nationwide, especially during the festive period and beyond.
It would be recalled that following NNPC’s intervention last weekend, the Petroleum Tanker Drivers PTD Branch of the Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers NUPENG called off a planned strike.
The union accepted the dialogue option proposed by the Corporation, a development that has sustained smooth supply and distribution of petroleum products nationwide.
The meeting was attended by stakeholders including the NNPC, the Petroleum Tanker Drivers PTD, the National Association of Road Transport Owners NARTO, Department of Petroleum Resources DPR and Federal Ministry of Works.
