Nigeria: Dangote Cement truck drivers have used their vehicles to block entries to the company’s Obajana cement plant and a public road in protest to alleged illegal employment practices. The Daily Independent newspaper has listed the drivers’ alleged grievances as: salary deductions, including for damage to cement bags; arrests for no reason; and the sacking of 6000 drivers since 2016. The drivers are demanding the removal of National Director Transportation Juan Carlos Rincos and his deputy Babadinga Mohammed.
In response to the situation Dangote Cement said that, “the issues have been resolved.”
