- Decry exclusion from CNG
Petroleum Tanker Drivers’ branch of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers has urged Federal Government to speed repair of highways before rainy season.
This followed approval of N42.4 billion and N740 billion for repair of some of its highways after its Federal Executive Council meetings in June and October.
In a communiqué by National Chair, Augustine Egbon and National Secretary, Oluchi Chinagorom, it urged agencies to ensure Nigerians get value for public funds.
The tanker drivers urged the contractors to fix the roads before rainy season.
The PTD-NUPENG decried its exclusion from the Compressed Natural Gas scheme of the administration.
It appealed to the ministry in charge for the inclusion of its members.
“We want to also nudge the memory of Nigerians that under the past administration, in 2021, N621.2 bilion was approved for Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited for reconstruction of 21 federal roads…
“Delay could be inimical to the interest of commuters and transporters as it means resorting to desperate measures in the rains…” it said.
