How Dangote Duped Graduates Of Millions Through Scam Job A by abbaapple: 9:12pm On Feb 11, 2017 |
The rich get richer while the poor get poorer typifies the secret life of Nigerian billionaire, Aliko Dangote, as one of his ponzi scheme has just crashed, Secret Reporters has exclusively gathered. It was massively advertised as Dangote Truck Entrepreneurial Scheme in virtually all the media outlets both in the conventional and new 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. Dangote was cruising as the king of unemployed graduates that the Federal and State Government could not employ. 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, they were made to leave their lucrative jobs to join a household brand. They were given employment letter but it looked so vague and empty. It was bereft of the usual details that accompany 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 seemed like a calculated and well orchestrated deceit with a timeline. The drafters of the scheme played it out methodologically with a defined template. Meanwhile, a reliable source revealed that Dangote went to collect loan from World Bank to fund the Obajana Cement factory and one of the conditions given to him was to employ Nigerian graduates, which he agreed to. For the past 8months that Truck Officers have worked at Dangote Cement Transport, Dangote paid only N57,5000 as monthly salary, instead of the N150,000 they were promised during the recruitment section. According to one of the affected staff, who left a Bank Job just to be with Dangote, “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, we looked beyond the monthly take home to discharge their duties to the best of our 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. In a swift, they were relieved of their appointments after passing the 6 months probation period, which qualifies them for automatic confirmation. Lamenting his dismissal, one of our sources stated that “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”

How we were humiliated, victimized by Dangote’s
company – Truck officer revealed
In April 2015, the company announced both in
print and electronic media a Truck
Entrepreneurship Scheme that sought to empower
graduates financially. The scheme entails eventual
ownership of a truck each by every successful
employee (Truck Officer) who was able to cover
400,000km with the truck. We excitedly applied
for this offer with the required documents, and
were eventually shortlisted. Thereafter, we went
through the first training process that lasted from
June to October 2015 at Obajana (Kogi state),
Ibese (Ogun state), and Ikeja (Lagos state).
Thereafter, there was physical background
confirmation of our residences and that of our
guarantors by Background Check International
(BCI), a company in Lagos, whose staff visited
our homes and that of our guarantors from
November 2015 and January 2016. On February
2016, 200 (two hundred) of us got phone calls to
report to Obajana plant for immediate
commencement of duty. The impromptu manner
with which we heeded this call from this
‘reputable’ company cost most of us our current
jobs then. Yet after training, we were asked to go
back and wait for their call. In March 2016, an
agreement form covering the scheme was sent to
us via email to complete and send to the High
Court for legal endorsement. This, we promptly
did at our own cost. It is noteworthy that the
agreement provided a monthly remuneration of
N60, 000 for every Truck Officer including a
performance bonus of N90, 000 on meeting the
monthly target. In April 2016, we got a call to
report to Ibese plant to process our documents
and commence work. This we did, and after
training, we were asked to go back and wait for
their call. In May 2016, we got a call asking us to
report to Ibese plant for immediate
commencement of duty, some reported on 12th
while some resumed on 13th and we were
allocated one truck each to supervise. Later on,
the trucks we each handled increased to four,
then to six for those in Ibese and seven for those
in Obajana. On 2nd June 2016, the management
summoned us to a meeting to announce the
cancellation of the entrepreneurship scheme. They
issued us an appointment letter saying we were
automatically staff of the company. However, the
letter stated that our appointment would be
confirmed permanent after six (6) months. It
further stipulated a monthly consolidated salary of
N60, 000 and unspecified performance bonus. On
that same month (June 2016), another 200 (two
hundred) Truck Officers were added to our
number and were deployed to Obajana plant and
the same appointment letters were issued to
them. In September 2016, about 400 (four
hundred) Truck Officers were further employed,
200 were deployed to Obajana plant while 200
were deployed to Ibese plant. In December 2016,
instead of issuing the first batch of Truck Officers
confirmation letters, our management introduced
a new form of daily truck reporting, saying it was
meant to be used as our Key Performance
Indicator (KPI). Though grossly disappointed, we
obediently adjusted to this new development
which officially commenced in Ibese plant In
January 2017. On Sunday 8th January 2017, a
Truck Officer, Oyelami Adekunle Ismael, slumped
and died on duty in Ibese plant, and all our
management did was to ask some Truck Officers
to accompany the corpse with an ambulance to
his hometown with a paltry sum of N50,000 (fifty
thousand naira). It is noteworthy to say that we
made effort by sending mails twice to our
management to book a meeting with us in order
to discuss our issues but it all proved abortive as
we got no response. Also worthy of note is that
our enterprising actions led to the revival of more
than 500 (five hundred) non- operational trucks
to become operational. On Saturday 4th February
2017, we were suddenly summoned by our
management via Whatsapp social media to report
to the plant for a very important meeting. To our
surprise, military men were stationed at strategic
positions around the plant. It was then that they
started distributing termination Letters (printed on
ordinary A4 papers as against the company’s
official letter- headed papers) to us, asking us to
submit our identity cards and other company
belongings, saying nothing about our severance
dues and allowances if any. We hereby implore all
well-meaning Nigerians and the general public to
come to our aid so as to bring this draconian and
tyrannical method of management to an end in
this country, and thus save the Nigerian youth
from undue humiliation and victimization. |
