He warned that NUPENG would suspend loading of fuel for Lagos and Ogun consumers as well as adjourning states in the Southwest, if the poor state of the road persists.
Speaking on the state of the road, according to Businessday the NUPENG leader in the South West said “the state of Sagamu-Ikorodu road is in a very bad shape and very sympathetic. This is where Nigerian government is getting volume of money from Mosimi depot, and the road that is doing that is not well rehabilitated.”
He added that NUPENG would not hesitate suspending loading of fuel for the people in Lagos and Ogun states as well as other adjourning states within the South West if the road was not repaired by the Federal Government to ease sufferings attached to haulage of petroleum product to other parts of the country.
