Tanker Drivers Killing Our Business, Gulf Treasures Cries Out
The Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) branch of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) on Monday shutdown the operations of Gulf Treasures Limited, one of the few depots supplying petrol since the beginning of the current crisis, an action that might worsen supply.
The closure was carried out by the Lagos Zonal Office of the union, who operator of the depot accused of highhandedness and arbitrariness. The closure, which was forcefully carried out, almost led to a conflict as it was protested by employees of the company.
When THISDAY visited the chaotic depot, trucks that were loaded with products could not go out of the depot for delivery.
There was apprehension in the company as employees and customers were in shock.
