Southwest Chairman of the union, Mr. Tokunbo Korodo, told the RAW GLOBAL NEWS in Lagos that “the ban had nothing to do with petroleum tankers.” Korodo, who said petroleum tankers were not captured by the law, added that they could deliver products to any destination any time. “We are aware of this directive by the LASG but the law did not restrict our trucks. “Tanker drivers can move at any time to deliver its products; we are not affected by the traffic law. “You can see that our tankers are working all round the clock to lift petroleum products and deliver at designated filling stations nationwide,” he said.
