Nigeria's edible oil tanker drivers union announces strike from September 22 over jurisdictional dispute with petroleum tanker drivers

In Nigeria, the National Union of Edible Oil Tanker Drivers (NUEOTDN) has threatened to strike from September 22 over alleged interference by the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) branch of NUPENG. The union's General Secretary, Tajudeen Usman, announced the planned industrial action at a press conference in Lagos on September 20. The dispute involves jurisdictional encroachment and harassment. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Lagos council has called for government intervention to prevent a crisis. The strike could disrupt edible oil transportation and distribution, potentially leading to shortages or price increases.
