ATCON, a leading association of telecoms companies of Nigeria said it has been informed that the NUPENG PTD has embarked on a strike action, effective this morning, in protest of the persistent harassment of tanker and petroleum product drivers by police officers in Lagos State. Consequently, all truck loading operations and movements have been suspended indefinitely, pending further notice.
A statement signed by ATCON President, Mr. Tony Izuagbe Emoekpere explained that “The ongoing strike is severely disrupting the diesel supply to our members’ base stations in Lagos and Ogun States, causing significant concern as numerous telecom sites are now critically low on diesel, threatening service disruptions.
We respectfully request the urgent intervention of the Governors of Lagos and Ogun States to facilitate access to diesel from the depot, ensuring uninterrupted operation of our affected telecom sites.
