The assurance came during an emergency union meeting on September 30 following tanker driver strikes. The strikes, now suspended, were over poor road conditions, deteriorating BOST yard, oil loss control, and allowance payments for long-distance drivers. Tameklo assured the union that the NPA would investigate these issues and collaborate with stakeholders to find solutions.",
