According to him, the intervention by the NNPC has resulted in an amicable settlement between the concerned parties.

Consequently, the industrial action has been called off for a period of one week to allow a proper resolution to the issues.

He again reiterated that normal loading operations in all depots have commenced and trucks dispatched across the country.

On the issue of subsidy policy, he maintained that engagements are ongoing between stakeholders to proffer a reasonable exit plan that would be beneficial to all Nigerians.
