The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria Adamawa/Taraba chapter has expressed resolve to continue its ongoing strike even as petrol sells for N2,000 per litre.
He said that the strike was occasioned by incessant harassment of its members and illegal seizures of their tankers carrying petrol by officers of the Nigeria Custom Service . According to him, these have led to financial losses, artificial scarcity, and hike in products’ prices, and the strike will continue until NCS stops their activities.
Abubakar Muhammed, a resident, told NAN that workers and other commuters now find it difficult to get transport to their offices and destinations.
