Dangote Drivers Association To Boycott Transport Of Cement To South East by tinsel: 4:01pm On Dec 18, 2022 |
The Association of Drivers of Dangote Cement Transport, Obajana in Kogi State has directed all its members to boycott the transportation of cement to the South-East region of Nigeria. The association said the decision was taken over the security situation in the region and in Akwa Ibom state in the South-South region. A memo dated December 11, 2022, and sent by the drivers’ association to the company, said, “We kindly write this short notice to the company that we are returning some waybills of the southeast state Nigeria that we driver (sic) are not going to some part (sic) of southeast Nigeria due to ongoing situation of the site Nigeria those part (sic) of southeast they are as follows: 1. Enugu, 2. Anambra, 3. Abia, 4. Imo, 5. Ebonyi, 6. Akwa Ibom.” Criminals enforcing sit-at-home orders in the South-East have in the past burnt trucks belonging to Dangote Cement and reportedly killed some of the company’s drivers. This comes a few days after the leadership of some Northern groups involved in commercial activities between the North and South-East zone directed commodity traders and truck drivers to shun the zone over the incessant killing of their members by gunmen suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Coordinator of the Northern Consensus Forum, Dr Auwal Abdullahi Aliyu said they declared a warning strike due to the constant killing of the northerners in the South East, adding that not less than 100 northerners were murdered in the zone within a week. Aliyu claimed that the strike had started to have a good effect and that security agencies, northern state governors, and residents in the impacted zone had all been informed. “We have blocked the roads linking the North to the East ranging from Benue, Nasarawa, Kwara and Plateau states among others, and the truck drivers are cooperating with us,” he had said. SaharaReporters earlier reported how gunmen enforcing a purported five-day sit-at-home order in Enugu State attacked and burnt a police patrol vehicle in the New Market area last Saturday. It was also reported that some supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were also killed by gunmen for defying a kangaroo sit-at-home order in Anambra recently https://saharareporters.com/2022/12/18/dangote-drivers-association-directs-members-boycott-transport-cement-south-east-nigeria 2 Likes 1 Share |

Afghaneastern Can you imagine what they've turned once peaceful region to. Sometimes, education can't cure stupidity. This is foolishness of the highest order. I can't fathom how a supposedly wise people who are quick to lecture people of other regions on how best to live find themselves in this mess. My only concern is that no hope for them in sight soon. They are still busy blaming Buhari, Tinubu, Lugard, Uk, Herdsmen, El Rufai, Dangote, etal. They are their own number one enemies. We warned them against following that one legged terrorist, Kanu but they called us coward or slaves. Reality is not yet down on them. I can't pity them and no sympathy from me, I'll rather sympathize with Boko Haram victims because theirs is understandable. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

What none of the commentators here have failed to address so far is the why question. Why were these trucks targeted?. How many times has it been in the news that Dangote trucks are used in conveying fulani and other northern terrorists and their weapons to SE and SS?. If sit at home is ordered in a region for any reason, and whether you agree or not, it is not in your interest as a corporate entity to dabble into the politics of it by appearing to be seen as an accessory to the effort to break the will of the warring parties. The foregoing is commonsense. As for boycotting SE and SS, I'm sure Dangote is not yet ready to relinquish his leadership position in the cement trade. What percentage of houses outside the urban areas of the entire north is built with cement?. Southwest is only marginally higher. SE and SS are currently at nearly 90 percent. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
