The rich get richer while the poor get poorer
typifies the secret life of Nigerian billionaire,
Aliko Dangote, as one of his ponzi scheme has
just crashed, Secret Reporters has exclusively
gathered.
It was massively advertised as Dangote Truck
Entrepreneurial Scheme in virtually all the media
outlets both in the conventional and new media.
It was designed in such a way that qualified
graduates will be empowered to manage trucks
assigned to them and eventually become
owners after the trucks must have attained a
defined mileage. So many young graduates
excitedly keyed into the initiative with accolades
being showered on the drafters of the scheme.
It was described as a panacea to youth
unemployment and was hailed by all from all
quarters. Dangote was cruising as the king of
unemployed graduates that the Federal and
State Government could not employ.
After the buzz and eulogies from the
government and the public had died down, the
goal post was shifted by Dangote Group. The
recruited graduates were told that it’s no longer
and entrepreneurial scheme. They were cajoled
to believe that they have been offered
provisional offer of employment in one of the
most ‘respected brand’ in the country, Dangote
Cement Transport.
With confirmation promised after 6months, they
were made to leave their lucrative jobs to join a
household brand. They were given employment
letter but it looked so vague and empty. It was
bereft of the usual details that accompany any
offer of employment letter. Out of mixed
feelings, some graduates accepted the offer and
some rejected it. Most accepted it because they
saw it as an avenue to work in a brand that
has house hold name with great potentials.
They were termed as Truck Officers with the
mandate of overseeing trucks assigned to them
and superintending over the truck drivers.
Sadly, their hopes and dream in identifying with
this brand has been dashed and short lived. The
events that have played out thus far in 8
months seemed like a calculated and well
orchestrated deceit with a timeline. The drafters
of the scheme played it out methodologically
with a defined template. Meanwhile, a reliable
source revealed that Dangote went to collect
loan from World Bank to fund the Obajana
Cement factory and one of the conditions given
to him was to employ Nigerian graduates,
which he agreed to.
For the past 8months that Truck Officers have
worked at Dangote Cement Transport, Dangote
paid only N57,5000 as monthly salary, instead
of the N150,000 they were promised during the
recruitment section.
According to one of the affected staff, who left
a Bank Job just to be with Dangote, “This is
the height of corporate fraud and enslavement.
No medical benefit paid, no overtime allowance
paid, no special duty allowance paid, no leave
grant paid, no defined bonus paid, no form of
welfare package paid, no confirmation letter as
promised. Truck Officers were left at the mercy
of just a misery 58,000 naira stipend paid
monthly. Yet, we looked beyond the monthly
take home to discharge their duties to the best
of our abilities without any inhibitions”
A truck loads about 45 tonnes of cement worth
over 2million Naira per trip and a Truck Officer
is expected to monitor the loading, dispatch
and delivery of the consignment to its final
destination and it’s return to base with the
assistance of the Truck Driver. In spite of this
round the chain effort, no Truck Officer has
made close to half of that amount from the
company for the tireless efforts put in daily both
weekends and public holiday to maintain the
trucks for this past 8 months. This is regardless
of the hazardous and unpleasant working
condition Truck Officers are daily exposed to
with nearly non existing working tools.
Within the 8months period under review, Truck
Officers were responsible for the resuscitation of
over 100 moribund and non operational trucks
which are up and running today. So many
Dangote trucks involved in accidents or broken
down on the high way and littered across
different parts of the country thereby causing
nuisance on the road were brought back to
Obajana through the major efforts of Truck
Officers. This feats were mainly achieved under
very strenuous conditions and risk with no
special incentive paid.
In a swift, they were relieved of their
appointments after passing the 6 months
probation period, which qualifies them for
automatic confirmation.
Lamenting his dismissal, one of our sources
stated that “this is indeed a capitalist world
with heartless and conscienceless management
at the helms of affairs. The management style
has been so porous with no clear cut policy
direction. Truck Officers are daily bequeathed
with flip flop policies. Yet, they improvised and
applied ingenuity in getting the job done. More
so, the threat of dismissal and query even with
verbal insults from management at times
became a recurring trend in the course of the
work”
Calls placed to Chijiena Anthony, who’s the
Corporate Affairs Manager of Dangote never

How we were humiliated, victimized by Dangote’s
company – Truck officer revealed
In April 2015, the company announced both in
print and electronic media a Truck
Entrepreneurship Scheme that sought to empower
graduates financially. The scheme entails eventual
ownership of a truck each by every successful
employee (Truck Officer) who was able to cover
400,000km with the truck. We excitedly applied
for this offer with the required documents, and
were eventually shortlisted. Thereafter, we went
through the first training process that lasted from
June to October 2015 at Obajana (Kogi state),
Ibese (Ogun state), and Ikeja (Lagos state).
Thereafter, there was physical background
confirmation of our residences and that of our
guarantors by Background Check International
(BCI), a company in Lagos, whose staff visited
our homes and that of our guarantors from
November 2015 and January 2016. On February
2016, 200 (two hundred) of us got phone calls to
report to Obajana plant for immediate
commencement of duty. The impromptu manner
with which we heeded this call from this
‘reputable’ company cost most of us our current
jobs then. Yet after training, we were asked to go
back and wait for their call. In March 2016, an
agreement form covering the scheme was sent to
us via email to complete and send to the High
Court for legal endorsement. This, we promptly
did at our own cost. It is noteworthy that the
agreement provided a monthly remuneration of
N60, 000 for every Truck Officer including a
performance bonus of N90, 000 on meeting the
monthly target. In April 2016, we got a call to
report to Ibese plant to process our documents
and commence work. This we did, and after
training, we were asked to go back and wait for
their call. In May 2016, we got a call asking us to
report to Ibese plant for immediate
commencement of duty, some reported on 12th
while some resumed on 13th and we were
allocated one truck each to supervise. Later on,
the trucks we each handled increased to four,
then to six for those in Ibese and seven for those
in Obajana. On 2nd June 2016, the management
summoned us to a meeting to announce the
cancellation of the entrepreneurship scheme. They
issued us an appointment letter saying we were
automatically staff of the company. However, the
letter stated that our appointment would be
confirmed permanent after six (6) months. It
further stipulated a monthly consolidated salary of
N60, 000 and unspecified performance bonus. On
that same month (June 2016), another 200 (two
hundred) Truck Officers were added to our
number and were deployed to Obajana plant and
the same appointment letters were issued to
them. In September 2016, about 400 (four
hundred) Truck Officers were further employed,
200 were deployed to Obajana plant while 200
were deployed to Ibese plant. In December 2016,
instead of issuing the first batch of Truck Officers
confirmation letters, our management introduced
a new form of daily truck reporting, saying it was
meant to be used as our Key Performance
Indicator (KPI). Though grossly disappointed, we
obediently adjusted to this new development
which officially commenced in Ibese plant In
January 2017. On Sunday 8th January 2017, a
Truck Officer, Oyelami Adekunle Ismael, slumped
and died on duty in Ibese plant, and all our
management did was to ask some Truck Officers
to accompany the corpse with an ambulance to
his hometown with a paltry sum of N50,000 (fifty
thousand naira). It is noteworthy to say that we
made effort by sending mails twice to our
management to book a meeting with us in order
to discuss our issues but it all proved abortive as
we got no response. Also worthy of note is that
our enterprising actions led to the revival of more
than 500 (five hundred) non- operational trucks
to become operational. On Saturday 4th February
2017, we were suddenly summoned by our
management via Whatsapp social media to report
to the plant for a very important meeting. To our
surprise, military men were stationed at strategic
positions around the plant. It was then that they
started distributing termination Letters (printed on
ordinary A4 papers as against the company’s
official letter- headed papers) to us, asking us to
submit our identity cards and other company
belongings, saying nothing about our severance
dues and allowances if any. We hereby implore all
well-meaning Nigerians and the general public to
come to our aid so as to bring this draconian and
tyrannical method of management to an end in
this country, and thus save the Nigerian youth
from undue humiliation and victimization. 1 Like 1 Share |

For Nigeria's highest indigenous employer, some decency would have been expected. Dangote is deeply involved in Nigeria politics. I'm afraid this would only die a natural death. If the dangote brand can treat her staffs like this, we should expect less from Chinese and Indian firms. It's sad that there are no labor law in Nigeria. Soon enough, these cruel acts will be met by equal wickedness. Who here knows how much they sell a BOMB? I say abbaapple go buy 1 apple (not bomb) and blow up that.......
