Dangote Industries enlists pubic support in tracking contraband goods in its trucks
The Management of Dangote Industries Limited has launched a passionate appeal to members of the public to assist in monitoring both the recklessness and the illegal haulage of contraband goods by some of its truck drivers.
The company har også oprettet hotlines for offentligheden til at indkalde og rapportere sådanne lastbilister, med et løfte om passende kompensasjon av samtaler som fører til arrest av errant drivere.
Noting 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.
The company also revealed 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 notifies the public to report any suspected Dangote truck driver involved in illegal haulage. Please call the 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 strict warning to those illegally transporting unauthorized goods through its trucks. "Dangote Industries Limited also wishes to warn those who 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".
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.
Under 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.
