Dangote gets hotline, email for monitoring, reporting unscrupulous truck drivers

ITRealms:

The management of Dangote Industries Limited has set up hotlines and electronic mail (email) for the public to call in and report truck drivers, for recklessness and illegal haulage of contraband goods with a promise to appropriately compensate whistleblowers that lead to arrest of errant drivers, reports ITRealms.

A press statement available to ITRealms, Dangote management, noted that the trucks belonging to Dangote Cement are only allowed to carry cement, high grade gypsum and coal, those belonging to Dangote Sugar (NASCON) are authorized to carry only salt and Dan Q seasoning.

Also, the company disclosed that trucks belonging to Agro Sacks, the bags producing arm of Dangote Group, can only carry bags, belonging to Dangote flour Mills, Wheat, Flour and Danvita.

“The Management of Dangote Industries Limited hereby alerts the public to report any suspected Dangote truck driver involved in illegal haulage. Please call Dangote Industries Management hotline on all information regarding illegal haulage activities on 08070188000, 01-2123567, 08170023846, 08152093133 and or email us at CustomerCare@Dangote.com”.

Dangote 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 trucks 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 motorboy 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.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Chapter President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Odozi Nwodozi, gave this counsel in Abuja, saying that strategic consultations are ongoing with relevant Igbo stakeholders.

According to him, the Arewa youth had asked Ndigbo to vacate the north before the 1st of October 2017.

“It has been resolved that though their position is life threatening, Ndigbo should not join them in this path of dishonor. We should be calm and vigilant; reporting developments to Ohanaeze Ndigbo on 07039489523 or any trusted security agency hotlines,” he said.

Nwodozi maintained that the leadership of Ohanaeze would be meeting soon to chat the way forward for a lasting solution to the current situation, stressing the need for internally vigilance especially at this time.
