funshint: If not 4 corruption within the entire system why should the entire economic fabric of the country be mortgaged to one man!! He has some of the largest companies in this continent yet he finds it difficult to adequately employ graduates. Shame of a country!!!

ogaibe1:

(Mr i find it very insulting) You werent an eyewitness to this man's story. SO if you dont have a credible information you can't criticize him. 9 out of ten times this story happens to be true.

tumababa: i simply don't believe the story

Noor6009: Should this be true,then it's another case of corruption and deceit in an org where everything should be based on merit.


Mod,r u still awaiting order frm oga Seun@d top before u move dis to d front page

tutuwater: Believe it or not. Dangote is not running most of the establishment well.
Dangote Transport loses a lot from accidents, improper handling and reckless driving. A lot of the cement sold do not get to the customers.
After the Graduate drivers training, the scheme was cancelled for two reasons.
1. The countries they were recruitted to transport cement to requested for drivers from their country.
2. The attitude of the training participant was not favourable to the companies management.
I hope they will all get a better more deserving job because DANGOTE is not a good working place.

Capt. JH Miller:
[size=14pt]why did you have to end it it northern hausa muslims??

i mean what has that got to do with anything?? you want to thell me that out of all of you that were sacked no nothern hausa muslim??

After clearly telling you the reason, to secure a loan, you still had to bring that up.

blaming your short commings on someones tribe, jst pointing at someone else its all me do in this country[/size]

omenpetrol: what's this one saying??

kaeto: I feel for those yoruba phd. drivers that due to their unproductive minds resorted to truck driving. Driving truck for aboki is the worst depth one can sink into. Well, God help the slave and her master. God help their lazy minds.

funshint:
You're a m'ron for saying dat^^^ but I don't blame you 'cos you're not expected to reason more than a cow!!! then he should sell all his spagetti and macaroni to his Hausa beggers alone...infact he should pack all his investments away from SW. Isn't it an irony the road leading to the largest Cement company in Africa owned by this man at Abajana is one of the worst road ever in this country; then you have to ask what is the social responsibility expected of this company?! It's so unfortunate we've only succeeded in building this man's wealth. This country has been sold out!!!
N.B:- Dangote is the largest producer of sugar in Nigeria yet he no get brain do cube sugar...we still dey buy St.lois!

arab-bunkum:
Information reaching my desk has confirmed that Dangote Group has quietly issued termination letters to almost all the graduate drivers that were recently employed amidst much publicity.

One of the affected graduate drivers who pleaded for anonymity, was actually crying when he narrated their ordeal. 'We went through a training program at NITT, Zaria for three months and were issued with employment letters by the Dangote Group in March 2013 at their head office in Lagos. We were all deployed to Dangote Cement Plant, Obajana ( Transport Division). At Obajana, the head of transport, ALHAJI LADAN, directed that we all be made to undergo an attachment with the more experienced drivers just to enable us gather much experience. We were all undergoing the attachment when, sometimes in May 2013, a directive came from the head office in Lagos, directing that all the graduate drivers that wish to leave driving should indicate interest to be converted to Fleet Officers (which is an office work).

We all wrote to be converted to Fleet Officers and that's when the drama started. Instead of doing the conversion process once as was the case when we got issued with employment letters in Lagos, the cabal at Obajana dragged it slowly to enable them to smuggle in many people who were never part of the original set that received training in Zaria and employment letters in Lagos. The conversion started in June 2013 and ended in November 2013, a period of six months for something that should not have taken more than one week for a fair minded and serious set of people.

At the end, only very few of the original graduate drivers were converted to Fleet Officers while the cabal in charge of the conversion exercise succeeded in getting their people into the positions meant for the graduate drivers. So, we were waiting for the exercise to continue when on December 02, 2013, the head of transport, ALHAJI LADAN, directed that our salaries be stopped. When we went to find out why our December salaries were stopped, they told us to come back today being January 06, 2014. So, you could imagine our surprises when, on reaching there today, they just came out and started issuing termination letters to us.'

When asked how many graduate drivers were converted to Fleet Officers, he replied that they were about six. He further revealed that the scheme was actually a ploy used by the company to take a loan from a foreign agency and to boost its image both at home and abroad, and that's why the company is doing away with the graduate drivers now that the deed has been done.

He further berated the set of people that heads the transport sector at Obajana, who are all Northern Hausa Muslims, for being overly incompetent and corrupt.

He is still confused as he seems confused on what to do next.


*****I'm not happy for making this front page for the first time ( January for that matter) with a bad news. He keeps asking me "What now?! I just can't figure it out!"
Pathetic indeed.*****

E.nosa:
this is too much am insult, this call for boko graduate against dangota

Olojukokoro: Write an open letter to Aliko Dangote and share it on social media...fight,don't give up and name the corrupt officials..Goodluck

SHAAWA: You mean the head of transport actually told you that your recruitment is just a scam to get foreign loan?

wonders shall never end,The richest man in Africa cannot secure a loan until the hires graduate drivers!

proxillin: why are Igbo over tribal. They always look for every excuses to attack other tribes on every issues. People like you are not different from bokoharam. You have no moral justification to criticize bokoharam. This was how bojoharam started. You will still go violent one day. Fact. There are many emekas in the phd drver. Get that into your head.
