Fuel tanker drivers in Kumasi have suspended a planned three-day strike following discussions with BOST Energies Limited over concerns surrounding operations at the company’s Kumasi Depot.
The decision follows engagement between BOST Energies and representatives of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union, with both sides reaching an understanding on measures to address some of the issues raised by drivers.
The development is expected to ease concerns about possible disruptions to operations associated with the Kumasi Depot.
The depot plays an important role in the movement and distribution of petroleum products, making developments involving tanker drivers significant for Kumasi and other areas served through the facility.
Following the discussions, the planned industrial action has been put on hold while the agreed measures are expected to be implemented.
The agreement provides some immediate relief for businesses and motorists who could have been affected if the strike had gone ahead.
Attention will now turn to how the commitments reached between BOST Energies and the tanker drivers are implemented and whether they provide a lasting solution to the concerns raised by the union.
