The Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) has vowed to suspend operations on Monday, February 19, 2023.

Its National President, YUSUF LAWAL OTHMAN, made this known in a press statement he issued from Abuja. 

He noted that the statement is an official announcement from the association’s headquarters that the members are parking their trucks from Monday because the amount they spend on operations is more than what they get in total: both in local and bridging.

According to him, the members have been operating at a loss and it is no longer sustainable for them to endure the losses.

OTHMAN also disclosed that NARTO’s efforts at soliciting the intervention of all the key stakeholders in the Federal Government and industry have not yielded positive results.
