Dangote Entreats Nigerians To Keep An Eye On Truck Drivers As The Company Sets Up Hotline For Reports


The Management of Dangote Industries Limited (Dangote Group) has issued a
passionate appeal to members of the public to assist in monitoring and
reporting both recklessness and illegal haulage of contrabands goods by
some of its truck drivers.
The company has also set up hotlines for the
public to report such truck drivers, with a promise to appropriately
compensate calls that lead to arrest of errant drivers.
Noting that trucks belonging to Dangote Cement are only allowed to carry
Cement, High Grade Gypsum and Coal; those belonging to Dangote Sugar
(NASCON) are authorize to carry only Salt and Dan Q seasoning and trucks
belonging to Agrosacks, the bags producing arm of Dangote group, can only
carry bags, belonging to Dangote flour Mills, Wheat, Flour and Danvita.
The Management of Dangote Group in a statement alerting and encouraging
the public to report any suspected Dangote Truck driver involved in
illegal haulage provided hotlines to make such reports
“Please call Dangote Industries Limited Management hotline on all
information regarding illegal haulage activities on 01- 2123567,
08070188000, 08170023846, 08152093133 and or email
customercare@dangote.com
Dangote Group Management also issued a stern warning to those illegally
transporting unauthorized goods through its trucks. “Dangote Industries
Limited also wishes to warn those that illegally transport materials on
Dangote truck that such unauthorized goods, when found, shall be
confiscated and such owners prosecuted to the full extent of the law”
It would be recalled that the company recently intercepted one of the
company’s truck loaded with contrabands in Ibadan, arrested the drivers
and handed them over the Nigerian customs for further investigations and
prosecutions. The arrest was effected by a crack team of the company’s
security personnel led by its Chief Security Officer who acted on
intelligence, bordering on misconduct by some of its drivers.
While handing over the drivers and his motor boy to the Customs Authority,
Assistant General Manager, in charge of Security Services, CSP Ali Garba
explained that the company has a surveillance section that monitors all
his trucks and drivers’ activities.
