Dangote Enterprenuer Scam Scheme. by abbaapple: 7:58pm On Feb 06, 2017 |
THE DANGOTE TRUCK OFFICERS SCHEME THAT
NEVER WAS
It was massively advertised as Dangote Truck
Entrepreneurial Scheme in virtually all the non-
media outlets both in the conventional and virtual
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.
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. The
employment letter looked so vague and empty. It
was bereft of the usual details that accompanies
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 seems like a calculated and well
orchestrated deceit with a timeline. The drafters
of the scheme played it out methodologically with
a defined template.
For the past 8months that Truck Officers have
worked at Dangote Cement Transport, Dangote
has only paid each Truck Officer roughly about
436,000 naira in total as monthly salary. What a
paltry sum to be paid to a working graduate for
8months. This total sum is about what some
relatively unknown companies without the clout of
Dangote Group pay employees in 1 or 2 months
with lesser work load compared to what obtains
at Dangote Cement Transport.
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, they looked
beyond the monthly take home to discharge their
duties to the best of their 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.
The appreciation a Truck Officer gets in return for
dedicatedly serving the Dangote brand for 8
months is a letter of disengagement.
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. Amidst
all these unfavourable challenges, Truck Officers
still made huge impact in the discharge of their
duties. 1 Like |
