2 road accidents involving tanker trucks in Nigeria

Nigeria has signed the ADR agreements relating to the transport of dangerous goods.

The ADR provides a regulatory framework and limits risks by controlling vehicles, packaging, or procedures.

Unfortunately, this regulation does not prevent road accidents involving these types of vehicles, caused by other road users.

2 accidents have thus occurred in 3 days, involving these tanker trucks
