Petroleum Tankers Drivers (PTD),
yesterday, threatened to boycott Jebba- Mokwa and Tatabu Bridge in the
distribution
of petroleum products.
In a statement, the Media
Relations Officer of the drivers, Mr. Abdulkadir Garba, said that due to the
deplorable condition of the roads, the drivers can longer take the risk of
plying them.
According to him, despite the
visit by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the road leading to the
Tatabu Bridge is still in a deplorable state. Also, Jebba to Mokwa, where
trucks spend days on the road, is still a sorry sight.
To this effect, he said, the
National Chairman of PTD, Salimon Oladiti, has called on government to expedite
action on the repairs of the road because when the rains set in, the situation
would be totally out of control.
Oladiti also suggested the use of
other depots outside Lagos as a way of decongesting the gridlock in Apapa and
easing the problem of fuel scarcity.
“Where this method as well as the
system Two-B is sustained, the perennial problem of fuel scarcity will be a
thing of the past,” he said.
