In various depots across the country, especially those in Lagos and Warri, Delta State, drivers parked their trucks to wait for the next directive as far as fuel lifting was concerned.

NUPENG officials have visited petroleum depots to enforce compliance on no loading as the talks between representatives of Dangote Petroleum Refinery and the leadership of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers dragged on for several hours on Monday night.
Ohibaba.com learned that despite the role played by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Productivity for reconciliation, plans for both parties to immediately sign a Memorandum of Understanding to put an immediate end to the ongoing conflict delays.
The resolutions of the Memorandum of Understanding were read for all parties to agree upon and sign.
Still, officials of the Dangote Group disagreed with some of the resolutions, thereby leading to further talks. As of 10:15 pm on Monday, parties continued talks to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
Consequently, in some parts of the country, filling stations were being closed by NUPENG members.
The Aradel refinery in Obele, Port Harcourt, was shut. The Kwale Hydrocarbon facility in Delta State was shut.
