The National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union and Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) Tanker Drivers have decided to suspend their industrial action following a meeting with the Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako-Attah.

The meeting lasted for over two hours and resulted in an agreement to address the concerns raised by the Union.

The Union has announced that they will resume work starting from today, Friday, while efforts are made to improve the road conditions.

The strike was initiated on Monday due to the poor road network around their loading terminals, which posed risks to their safety and the transportation of petroleum products.

As a result of the meeting with the minister, the Union agreed to suspend the strike at midnight on Thursday, June 29, 2023, with the condition that the contractor responsible for the road construction ensures that the riding quality is improved within three weeks.

The decision to suspend the strike aims to allow for the necessary road improvements to take place, addressing the concerns raised by the tanker drivers.
