The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has directed the withdrawal of the services of Petroleum Tanker Drivers from Lagos State with effect from Monday, 10th August 2020.
The Union said the action followed the failure of various authorities in the State to address issues that have severely caused pains and bitter experience for petroleum tanker drivers in the State.
The union said it was sad and disheartening that despite several appeals to Lagos State Government and the Presidential Task Force for Decongestion of Apapa; nothing concrete has been done to address the concerns of tanker drivers in the State.

The union said its members are consistently extorted, intimidated, harassed and victimized by different state government agencies.
It consequently reached the decision to embark on an indefinite strike beginning from 12 am , Monday, August 10, 2020 if no decisive and convincing actions were taken by the Lagos State Government to address its concerns.
