Fuel tanker drivers in Ghana have ended their sit-down strike over poor conditions of service.

The Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union declared an indefinite sit-down strike on Tuesday, demanding improved conditions of service, particularly regarding remuneration.

Following a meeting with all stakeholders, the tanker drivers issued a communique to call off the strike.

The communique stated that a framework for their remuneration had been adopted, and the implementation was expected to begin by the end of June 2024.

During a press conference, union members expressed frustration that despite an agreed policy framework aimed at enhancing their salaries and working conditions, which had been pending since November 2023, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and the sector Ministry had failed to implement the policy.
