  • FG has announced a ban on fuel tankers exceeding 60,000 litres from operating on Nigerian roads, effective March 1, 2025.

  • The decision was made in response to the rising number of road accidents involving heavy-duty petroleum tankers,

  • This is according to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced a ban on fuel tankers exceeding 60,000 litres from operating on Nigerian roads, effective March 1, 2025.

This decision was made in response to the rising number of road accidents involving heavy-duty petroleum tankers, according to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

Ogbugo Ukoha, NMDPRA’s Executive Director of Distribution Systems, Storage, and Retailing Infrastructure, disclosed this information at a press conference in Abuja.

He stated that the first stakeholders’ technical committee met to establish timelines for about 10 resolutions aimed at addressing the significant increase in truck transit incidents and fatalities.

“The key point here is that, for the first time, consensus was reached among all stakeholders, and we will continue to work together cohesively to ensure the safe transportation of petroleum products across the country,” Ukoha added.

By the fourth quarter of 2025, no truck with a capacity exceeding 45,000 litres will be permitted to load petroleum products.

This move is part of efforts to ensure safe transportation of petroleum products across the country.

Ukoha also dismissed recent claims questioning the quality of fuel in circulation across the country, describing them as “bogus, misleading, and unscientific”.

He assured Nigerians that all imported and locally refined petroleum products meet strict regulatory standards before being released into the market.

“The regulator would usually be more circumspect and not respond to every comment made in public,” Ukoha said.
