The Association of Distributors and Transporters of Petroleum Products (ADITOP) has dissociated itself from the planned strike by the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG). ADITOP’s National President, Alhaji Lawan Dan-Zaki, stated that the strike, which is in protest against Dangote Refinery’s deployment of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered trucks for direct distribution of petroleum products, is “uncalled for”.
“We, members of ADITOP, hereby inform the general public and the federal government that we dissociate ourselves from any intended strike or disruption by NUPENG and its cohorts we intend to continue moving petroleum products across the country without fear of molestation.” National President of ADITOP Alhaji Lawan Dan-Zaki said.
ADITOP believes Dangote’s efforts will sanitize the industry, stabilize supply and distribution, and provide jobs and new skills to millions of unemployed Nigerians.
The association supports any petroleum products distribution scheme aimed at delivering products seamlessly to end-users while promoting economic growth.
ADITOP intends to continue moving petroleum products across the country without fear of molestation.
The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria believes the federal government’s intervention is yielding results in the dispute between NUPENG and Dangote Refinery.
