Abuja – Alhaji Suleiman Yakubu, the National Public Relations Officer of Independent Petroleum
Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) says the association will continue to train fuel tanker drivers in the country.
Yakubu said this in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja.
He said the association organised quarterly workshops and re-training for drivers, following an existing synergy between
Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) and IPMAN.
He added that “we always advice drivers to be cautious on the road.
“Accident is not an intentional act, but drivers have to be extra careful.”
He commended the synergy between Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), IPMAN, PTD and others for the training, saying it had helped
in reducing drivers’ excesses on the road.
“The training also helped in improving drivers’ attitude and educated them on
risks they were exposed to while driving.”
