Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has introduced a whistleblower initiative as the conglomerate moves to clamp down on the “illegal use” of its trucks.
The initiative includes a N500,000 reward to individuals who provide credible information that could lead to the arrest of persons involved in the illegal use of its branded trucks.
The company said the move is part of efforts to curb unauthorised haulage activities and protect the integrity of its nationwide logistics operations.
In a statement on Sunday, DIL encouraged the public to report any suspected cases of its trucks being used to transport unauthorised goods or passengers.
The company warned that only approved products are permitted to be conveyed by trucks belonging to its subsidiaries.
According to the statement, Dangote Cement trucks are authorised to transport only cement, limestone, high-grade gypsum, coal and clinker, while Dangote Sugar Refinery trucks are restricted to sugar products.
The company said trucks belonging to NASCON Allied Industries are designated for Dangote Salt and DanQ Seasoning products.
“Dangote Packaging vehicles are to carry bags and packaging materials, Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals trucks are approved for polypropylene products, while Dangote Fertiliser Limited vehicles are authorised to transport urea fertiliser,” the statement reads.
