Dango trucks have been killing people long time. How long do we continue to die in the hand of Dangote trucks? It is high time they find solutions to all the avoidable death caused by Dangote trucks 40 Likes 2 Shares |

The Dept. in Dangote that's responsible for logistics and transportation needs thorough restructuring and a very good training for their drivers, immature, impatience and emotional drivers need to get rid of. Lots and lots of refinement needs to be done there. 34 Likes 1 Share |

This is getting out of hands. It's high time, Dangote considers creating his own train route. That way we could avoid road accidents 9 Likes |

When those in power become truly intentional about caring about the people at all, it takes just one hearing for a law to be passed, banning these trucks from plying the roads during the day. But heck no, it will affect logistics for the elites who get their hands watered to ignore the real things that should be addressed. May the souls of the dead, rest in peace. 1 Like |

Alhaji Aliko Dangote / Dangote Group Leadership Subject: Immediate action required to stop Dangote trucks killing Nigerians Alhaji Dangote, we respect what you’ve built, but profit does not absolve responsibility. Your freight operations are causing deaths and terror on our roads. We are aware you move in the sky with your private jet. But those of us still moving on the roads ,dont want to die. We want an amicable, practical fix, not excuses. What we ask (concrete, non-negotiable): 1. Publicly acknowledge there is a problem. Silence = indifference. 2. Fund and stand up a professional Truck Driving & Safety Academy under Dangote auspices: • Mandatory for every Dangote driver. • Curriculum: defensive driving, hours-of-service rules, vehicle inspection, emergency response, fatigue management. • Certified instructor cadre, written + practical tests equivalent to a US CDL standard. • Target cost: ≤ 200 million naira to set up and scale nationwide, a fraction of your group capex and corporate revenues. 3. Require all Dangote trucks to be fitted with basic active safety tech within 12 months: speed governors, telematics (real-time location + driver hours), automatic emergency braking where practicable. 4. Institute a transparent driver-discipline & whistleblower policy and publish quarterly safety metrics (accidents, fatalities, driver hours, penalty actions). 5. Commit to insurance/compensation protocol for victims’ families and a community fund for road-safety education. Why this is reasonable: • This is achievable, affordable, and directly reduces deaths. • It protects Dangote’s brand and business continuity — public outrage and litigation are costlier long-term. • It gives the company moral leadership: wealth used to safeguard lives. A timeline we can work with: • Day 0: Public acknowledgment + appointment of a Safety Oversight Officer. • 60 days: Publish project plan and budget for the Academy and tech rollout. • 6 months: Academy pilot and telematics rollout on a prioritized fleet. • 12 months: Mandatory certification for all active drivers; public safety dashboard launched. We are willing to cooperate on implementation details, community outreach, and oversight. But we will not stop pressing until tangible steps are taken and progress is visible. This is not a demand for charity, it’s a request for corporate accountability. If you value Nigerian lives as you value your business, act now. Sincerely, Malali 11 Likes 1 Share |

As long as no strong action was taken when it happened before , it will continue to happen I can't blame Dangote and his drivers, I blame the respective state governments and Federal Government that has failed to prioritize Nigerian lives. If Dangote was slammed with lawsuits running into hundreds of millions of Naira each time his truck kills people, this will stop happening. I don't hear about BUA trucks or other companies killing people like this 4 Likes |

In a normal country, the operation of these trucks would have been banned long since, pending resolutions. |

Maxymilliano:First of all may their souls rest in peace, those who died in this incident were failed by our system, Dangote group as a company refused to employ experienced and well cultured drivers who handle their trucks, on the other hand Federal road safety and other agency responsible for enforcing traffic rules failed this country… those truck drivers are steadily on tramadol weed and other illicit drugs that makes them to slow on wheel. Enforce laws that banned them from drinking or taking pills while driving all this nonsense killings will stop |
