The Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) has decided to halt its industrial action following a meeting with the Federal Government on Monday.

NARTO members had initiated the suspension of operations on Monday, citing concerns over the exorbitant cost of diesel needed to operate their trucks for the transportation of petroleum products nationwide.
