The federal government has ordered oil marketers to negotiate with the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) to stop the planned suspension of operations by its members with respect to the lifting of petroleum products nationwide.
Recall that oil marketers and the executives of NARTO had met about six times in the last two days, following the declaration of the petroleum products’ transporters to stop operations.
Meanwhile, the downstream regulator and the petroleum ministry have concluded plans to meet with NARTO members, as well as other parties today in Abuja in order to sort out the issues.
