Independent truck drivers resist NUPENG's strike action, advocating for their right to associate freely.
Direct Trucking Company Drivers Association (DTCDA) Stands Against NUPENG Strike
In a significant development, the Direct Trucking Company Drivers Association (DTCDA) has distanced itself from the planned nationwide strike by the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), scheduled to begin on Monday, September 8, 2025.
The statement, issued after a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Saturday, was signed by the DTCDA's National President, Barrister Enoch Kanawa. The statement reaffirmed the constitutional right to freedom of association while stressing that drivers cannot be forced into union membership.
The DTCDA's stance on the NUPENG strike comes at a time when concerns are high about its potential impact on fuel supply and transportation nationwide. The association pledged to continue discharging its duties in accordance with the law, aiming to prevent the public from being misled.
The DTCDA's position could potentially influence the decisions of other organizations in the transportation sector, adding a new dimension to the brewing industrial action. The association urged stakeholders not to politicize its position regarding the NUPENG strike.
The DTCDA's stance may have implications for the relationship between the association and NUPENG. However, the association reiterated its commitment to national service and constitutional values, aiming to maintain a peaceful and productive working environment.
The DTCDA warned against attempts to compel drivers into joining unions against their will. The association aimed to prevent the public from being misled and to ensure that its members are aware of their rights and responsibilities.
The DTCDA's stance on the NUPENG strike may affect the overall industrial relations landscape in the transportation sector. As the date of the strike approaches, it remains to be seen how other organisations will respond to the DTCDA's position.
In conclusion, the DTCDA's stance on the NUPENG strike adds a new layer of complexity to the industrial action, with potential implications for fuel supply, transportation, and industrial relations in the sector. The association's commitment to upholding the law and respecting its members' rights is commendable, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds in the coming days.
