The Anambra state government has announced the restriction of movement for petrol tankers during the daytime in the state.

Okay.ng understands that the government introduced this ban following several accidents of trucks carrying petroleum product accidents.

C-Don Adinuba, the state commissioner for Information, announced the ban in a statement on Friday.

The statement reads in quotes: “Anambra State Government has decided to restrict the time which vehicles laden with petroleum products can move in the state. With effect from Saturday, November 2, 2019, such vehicles can be allowed to move within Anambra State from only 8 pm to 5 am.

“The restriction is to enable agencies like the Anambra State Fire Service, the Nigeria Police Force, the Federal Road Safety Corps, the Civil Defence the Anambra Traffic Management Agency and indeed all other security, law enforcement and safety agencies to respond effectively and in good time to emergencies created by such accidents which sometimes result in conflagrations, as was the case in Onitsha on Wednesday, October 16, 2019”

“The Anambra State Command of the Nigeria Police Force and ALL other security agencies have therefore been directed to religiously enforce the restriction order on the movement of trucks carrying petroleum products in the state.

“They have also been directed to ensure that such vehicles do not exceed the speed limit of 90 kilometres per hour.

“Any violation of either the time restriction order or the speed limit will be punished accordingly. The protection of the life and asset of every person in Anambra State cannot be compromised.”
