GPRTU Petitions Mahama Over Dangote by dridowu: 10:38am On Jul 29, 2016 |
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has petitioned the Mahama government to intervene and stop Nigerian business magnet, Aliko Dangote, from taking over the transport business, which is employing thousands of Ghanaian drivers and other ancillary staff. The petition came in the wake of Dangote importing into the country, one thousand trucks to facilitate the distribution of its cement across the country, instead of relying on local transporters, as other cement manufacturing companies are doing. A letter dated 25th July, 2016, and signed by Mr Sai Issah, Chairman of a Tema branch of the union to the Ghanaian authorities noted that GPRTU is not against the business tycoon investing in Ghana, but he must not be seen to be pushing locals out of their businesses. According to the letter, apart from the truck owners who are directly affected, artisans such as mechanics, auto electricians, welders and spare parts dealers who keep their vehicles running will all be thrown out of business to the detriment of the citizenry. The worried truck owners said as transporters, they often go for loans from the commercial banks to cushion their business, pay insurance premium and other taxes, only to be rendered jobless by the emergence of Dangote in an industry reserved for only Ghanaian citizens. On the other hand, the truck owners have said that they are prepared to enter into agreement with Dangote to purchase his imported vehicles to cart the cement anywhere in the country for him, rather than being compelled to re-export from the country. Dangote cement, about a decade ago obtained license as Greenview Cement to bag powdered cement in the country, but for some months now is engaging in the importation of bagged cement from Nigeria, a situation which is creating friction between the company and the local cement manufacturers. http://thechronicle.com.gh/gprtu-petitions-mahama-over-dangote/ 4 Likes 2 Shares

Importation of 1000 trucks into Ghana means hiring 1,000 Ghanaian drivers, no? These ones are just concerned about their own pockets. Besides, it's not as though Dangote is transporting cement for other people...he is using just doing his own delivery so his trucks will not affect the amount of business these people are already doing, unless Dangote is taking business away from other suppliers of cement. in which case... well 27 Likes 1 Share |

How Billionaire advices you to be rich. "Work hard, Never relent, diligence and be consistent". But How billionaire really get rich and wealthy. Seizes opportunity to exploit the poor, create a monopoly market and constantly looking to buy out their competitors. That's the world we live in, Dangote is a just a Nigeria following the billionaire principle, If I was him, I would do same. 26 Likes 3 Shares |

They have a valid point. If the drivers are purely ghanians, then they are safe. But should he by chance employ fulani as drivers, then they are welcome to suffer series of road accident. 1 Like |

2dugged: No bad belle but Dagonte has a monopoly on everything in Nigeria, from the food you eat, cement used to build your house, to the gas you put in your car. We won't allow him especially since we have the best transportation sysytem in west Africa. We don't need the death trap he has been providing Nigerians. 3 Likes |
