Alhaji Abdullahi Bature, Coordinator of the NMDPRA in the state, while addressing stakeholders at its first quarter stakeholders meeting in Jalingo, the state capital, said that Taraba has recorded three tanker explosion incidences so far in 2025.

Bature said that the collaboration became necessary for the identification of workable solutions to the challenge.

He stated that such incidences had caused a lot of downturn on the economy and  loss of lives.

He said that the safety of drivers was a matter of concern to the agency, encouraging  stakeholders to suggest measures that could stem the tide of tanker explosion.

The coordinator also said that the agency was considering the use  of various media platforms for the sensitisation of drivers on safety measures.

Malam Muazu Muhammed, Head of Gas, while making presentation on Tanker explosion incidents and truck-in-transit accidents, emphasised that the safety of operators was paramount to the organisation.

He said that the collaboration with all stakeholders in the state was intended to  identify measures that could address the ugly trend.

Muhammed urged participants to identify workable resolutions that would be enforced to achieve the goal.

Alhaji Ahmed Isa of the National Association of Transport Owners (NATO) commended NMDPRA for bringing partners together with a view to charting a common cause.

He said that NATO members had lost several vehicles and products through accidents, adding that the menace had a direct economic effect on their businesses.

In his remarks, Mr. Adi Mikyin, a Superintendent of Fire Service, advised stakeholders to prioritise training and re-training of drivers.

Mikyin observed that lack of professionalism was a major  cause of accidents by the trucks and tanker drivers.

Critical stakeholders, such as Federal Road Safety Corps, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, representatives of the federal and state fire services, among others, attended the meeting.
