Nigeria: FG to Reclaim Tafa From Tanker Drivers - Minister

By Mustapha Suleiman, 11 May 2012

Minister of State for Works Ambassador Bashir Yuguda said his ministry is collaborating with stakeholders in the road sector to free Tafa -Kaduna road from tanker drivers, who often congest the highway through illegal parking.

He stated this yesterday while on an inspection tour with the leadership of Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Worker (NUPENG) and Nigeria Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) to Tafa, in a bid to finding a lasting solution to congestion on the road.

He said that "the moment you have tankers parked on both sides of our highways then the safety of the road is not guaranteed and the safety of the roads is the principal mandate of ministry of works."
