Independent on Saturday reports that petrol stations around the country have started running dry as a result of the petroleum sector strike.
Petrochemical workers affiliated to the Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers’ Union (Ceppwawu) downed tools at refineries on Thursday following failed salary negotiations.
