Transporters of PMS on Thursday said the nationwide scarcity of PMS was partly due to the gradual halt in the operations of truck owners.

PMS transporters have stopped transporting the commodity, while more will soon halt if the FG remain adamant in refusing to raise the freight cost of transporting petrol.

The National President, Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners Yusuf Othman, said “If the government refuses to comply with our demands, transport owners would not continue in business when running at a loss.
