The Nigerian Federal Government might be on to something if it can implement its plans for curbing truck-in-transit incidents! The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has announced a ban on 60,000-litre fuel tankers from operating on Nigerian roads, effective March 1, 2025, to mitigate truck-in-transit incidents If the federal government is truly serious about keeping our roads from turning into barbecue pits, then this ban on 60,000-litre tankers shouldn’t just be another headline, it must be enforced with an iron grip, not a slippery handshake. Regulatory agencies must ensure that from March 01, 2025, no oversized fuel tanker sneaks onto the highways under the cover of ‘Nigerian factors’, and by the fourth quarter, we shouldn’t see a single 45,000-litre-plus tanker belching its way onto the roads.
