Consequently, the national leadership of PTD, under the leadership of Alhaji resolved that there is urgent need to train all tanker drivers on wheels nationwide.
Although, we have been training our tanker drivers before engaging them on the road, we believe that constant training would reduce accidents on our roads.
We resolved that we need to engage these agencies to come and engage our drivers on how to drive safely on highway.
We also want them to give our tanker drivers their rules and regulations so that they will abide by them," he said.
This training will be done in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kaduna and Warri, within the next two months.
