Dangote Group through its newly introduced truck
ownership scheme will provide an additional 28,000 jobs to empower
Nigerians to become self-employed.
Seven hundred trucks will be provided by Dangote Group through its cement subsidiary to qualified Nigerians to become truck officers. They in turn will be able to hire drivers and assistants to deliver Dangote cement to distributors nationwide.
A statement from Dangote Group read: “we have 7,000 trucks to share with intelligent, hardworking and committed individuals with business acumen who would like to deepen their entrepreneurial skills in the transport/haulage business, willing to manage and operate a truck, if necessary by appointing their own driver (who should pass the institutional screening, orientation and training process).”
Entrepreneurs who benefit from the scheme will also receive maintenance support, fuel and other available resources.
For applicants to be qualified, however, they must be professionals who must make sure their trucks are available for loading and delivery to the depots at all times to further foster excellence and efficiency.
The entrepreneur must be a graduate although the driver may not be one. The duo however must create a firm relationship and should be driven by a desire to succeed.
“To become a bonafide owner of the truck, among other considerations, the truck entrepreneur must have logged a minimum of 400,000 km. On meeting the mileage target, a nominal amount will be paid by the truck entrepreneur and this amount will be provided to the truck driver who would have assisted the truck entrepreneur in meeting this target, the money will represent a discharge payment to the driver.
“Any driver so discharged above can again apply and be engaged to work with another truck entrepreneur”, Dangote Group added.
By doing this, Dangote Group will be creating a better service delivery and providing jobs to Nigerians which will invariably reduce the issue of unemployment in the country.
Recently, the chairman of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, disclosed plans of his group to supply power to Lagos state through the construction of a gas pipeline.
