The Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) has decided to suspend its planned nationwide strike following a meeting with the federal government and stakeholders yesterday.
The strike was intended in response to the harsh economic conditions affecting tanker drivers, who had halted operations and refused to transport petroleum products, reports Nigerian Tribune.
NARTO members had threatened a countrywide shutdown starting yesterday due to the exorbitant cost of automotive gas oil (diesel), which is essential for fueling their trucks used in transporting petroleum products across Nigeria.
