MichaelSokoto:
appointing a Nigerian would be a quicker path to death for d refinery...

if u know u know!



pls ayam not bn sentimental, Jez bn factual.

budaatum:
Looks like Devakumar is a builder, and not a manager. Different skills set.

Sad though, that Dangote could not find a Nigerian.

Gerrard59:
There aren't many Nigerians with refining experience on a global scale. Before his refinery, Nigeria was a major importer of petroleum products. So where would have such Nigerians obtained cognate experience from?

SmartPolician:
Congratulations to David Bird. Dangote clearly needed a Caucasian for the role probably for business reasons. If not, there are many qualified Nigerians who can do the job.

He was never. VP of the refinery

Why do people find it hard to admit when they are wrong

What do you mean by AS A VP

VP of. what exactly?.


If truly he was VP of refinery who was president

The. Simple truth is you have a psychological need to be right which is an ego problem

budaatum:
He will have loads of Nigerians in equally trust needy positions, proven too, since he can internally promote.

I think it is experience and knowledge and contacts in the business that might have excluded a Nigerian. This guy has to make that refinery work and not be tribally hampered, which might affect a Nigerian, perhaps.

What I do like about Dangote is, he does not seem to care about tribe, least going by his directors.

Gboss247:
Sad Ke?
Devakumar is the vice president of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), the conglomerates that holds majority shareholders in all Dangote businesses.

harmargedon:
bro, go and watch Dangote's interview when he was asked why he uses Indians instead of Nigerians. Then come back to prove what i wrote wrong.

Gentledove2001:
No one should say that dangote didn't use a Nigerian, international business is not the same as local business. Dangote also source crude oil from other countries too. Is a personal business.

Over a decade ago, I read somewhere how to make money without doing anything. I actually thought it was real I until I started reading the article .

Before you can make money without doing anything, you must have done something to warrant that. Then I started something, spent time, spent resources for a decade to build whatever. It took a decade to start bringing something effortlessly.

The point is, no short cut to success, forget about the story of an overnight fortune, to make real money and be successful, you must work your way smartly.

Back to the Dangote's new CEO, the man can never be jobless as he had done things in the past to be giving him different appointments.

No time to start than now.

Congratulations

Saao:
hmm Nigerian? Nigerian will sabotage his effort

zealousayo:
DVG Edwin is the Vice President in charge of the refinery and fertilizer.

Enice:
Oga, stop talking rubbish. Go to google and check the profile of Devakumar Edwin, his job description clashed with that of the new CEO. That was why I asked that question. Would Mr Devakumar be relieved of some duties! That's the question.

harmargedon:
he does not trust a Nigerian for that position, from my end, i have seen what an average nigerian have done to peoples businesses. it would seem like they were sent to destroy you, all they care about is how to cash out from the owner

Karlifate:
The Chairman of Dangote Cement is a Nigerian, South-South precisely.

Maitunbi:
Forgive me for saying this but Nigerians are not exactly known for excellence. Whites are way better than Nigerians as managers and organisers.

budaatum:
If you read my other posts here you would not ask me to prove what you wrote wrong.

Even the post you quoted agrees with you more than disagree, except for the reasons I gave.

If you have this Dangote interview, link please. and you think there are no Nigerians with that experience?, your post shows how you think. FYI, there are a whole lot of Nigerians with the experience required.

aribisala0:
If he were to appoint a Nigerian where would he find him? I am not saying they don't exist just asking what job would that Nigerian have been doing 2 months ago specifically? Presumably he won't appoint an idle or jobless person
Maybe from Shell or Mobil?
But those companies hoard knowledge they don't share expertise

Take Julius Berger after 50 years go to any major project you still find white people
They put Nigerian engineers on a desk

harmargedon:
take it from me, there are Nigerians home and abroad with the experience. He's using whites not because the Nigerians can't do it, but they see it as a way to boost their economy by bringing themselves and retaining their importance in the country. By so doing, they are telling the people that Nigerians are incapable. imagine Indians here programing PLC all the way from India, and while i was speaking to someone in engineering field that Nigerians have people that could do the same, he didn't believe until he made his research.

Goodlady:
Nigerians o.
Dango remember ya country men. Try them for two years and see the difference.

aribisala0:
You don't know this
Unless he told you this in your WhatsApp group chat
It is just an idea you like
It is not objective reality

Bsssss:
There's nothing sad about it. Many Nigerians who play for big clubs wouldn't have make name for themselves if the club owners are focused on getting players from their country. In the game of entrepreneurship, talent matters more than anything else. Dangote doesn't care if the cat is white or black in as much as it catches mice.

harmargedon:
baba rest, why didn't TOTAL or SHELL use a Nigerian?

harmargedon:
I have worked with Indians that said the same.
