‘Our drivers earn more than graduates, our new trucks to create 24,000 jobs’ – Dangote | READ DETAILS

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has said that their drivers earn more than graduates and even four times the Nigerian national minimum wage.

Dangote stated this when he appeared in an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday.

He emphasized that it should be voluntary for anyone to join the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, adding that the trucks he launched will create 24,000 jobs.

In his word;

“The trucks we launched didn’t stop anyone from their work. We hear there will be a loss of jobs. Will our tankers be driven by robots?

“Every truck is about six people. So these trucks they are fighting over will create 24,000 jobs.

“What we are saying is that our salary is almost three or four times their own. After five years free accident, a driver can apply and get a house loan.

“Our drivers earn more than graduates. If you look at what they earn in a month, it’s almost four times the national minimum wage.”
