Tanker drivers have resumed fuel loading following the resolution of their crisis with the Lagos State Government, according to The PUNCH.
On Wednesday and Thursday, many fuel tankers were seen on the road conveying petroleum products to filling stations within and outside Lagos.
Many filling stations ran out of stock Monday due to the tanker drivers’ refusal to lift petroleum products from the Dangote refinery and the depots since Saturday.
The drivers have accused the Lagos State Government and its task force of harassment, assault, extortion, and seizure of their trucks.
While the truck drivers and marketers alleged that about 30 trucks were taken away after the task force invaded their park at night along the Lekki Free Trade Zone where they had gone to lift products on Saturday, the government said its officials were attacked while trying to enforce the e-call-up system, saying only 11 trucks were seized and later released.
