Dangote Articulated Trucks Drivers Training School (DATDTS), in collaboration with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), is implementing stricter entry requirements for aspiring drivers to enforce its zero tolerance for auto crashes.
This development comes as Dangote Cement Plc undertakes the recertification and screening of all its truck drivers at the company’s Obajana plant in Kogi State.
Head of Transport, Dangote Cement Plc, Mr. Murilo Silva, said as part of efforts to promote safe driving and achieve zero road crashes, the company has since begun installing cameras across its fleet of thousands of CNG trucks. He revealed that applicants must be at least 23 years of age and possess a minimum of five years’ relevant driving experience, in addition to holding a valid Class G driver’s license.
He explained that anyone seeking employment as a truck driver must undergo a thorough examination and screening process, which includes medical evaluations and drug testing.
