Bothered by the risk tendencies in petroleum products movement across the country, oil marketers under the aegis of Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), have decided to minimise cases of accidents on road networks and promote efficient transportation of products.
MOMAN insisted that movement of products from one point to another constituted a major part of its operations, noting that about 95 per cent of the incidents which occur in the downstream industry were through road accidents in the course of product movement from one point to another.
In a document by MOMAN obtained bt The Guardian, the association revealed that a recent study of 120 accidents that happened since 2014 to the recent accident at Otedola Bridge in Lagos, showed that 94 of the accident cases were rollover, 16 collisions and 10 fires.
