This is great. Dangote is a real blessing to this nation. This is a brilliant way 2 reduce our unemployment rate. In the US driving heavy duty machines is a professional job. We can indeed make many of our casual jobs professional and u wil see graduates applying wit so much zeal and enthusiasm

Nice one, thanks. My brother tried applying but the mail kept bouncing back. Anyone with similar experience?
failure delivery
Just keep on sending.
am sorry, dis is a joke Graduate trianee drivers, comeon!!!!!
D mail is bouncin back.
I don't know if there is any where in this world where they recruit graduate heavy duty truck drivers.
They do in advanced countries.
What u dnt knw is that as a heavy duty truck driver u are exposed to a world of opportunities and possibilities in the haulage and logistic industry such as becoming an entrepreneur, owning ur fleet of trucks etc in dis bouyant industry. Mind u Dangote is a multinational conglomerate. I thnk d problem is with our mentality. We jst so much believe in regular white coller jobs such as banking, telecoms, insurance, govt MDAs, and the likes which have made most of our graduates shld i say lazy, conventional, uncreative and lacking in enterprise. Here is a guy revolutionalizing and relishing an erstwhile recondite profession with professionalism and d sole aim of getting most of our unemployd graduates GAINFULLY EMPLOYED. And som persons cal it a joker. A take home word for those who oppose this briliant initiative is go to ur banks as tellers and marketers, go to ur telecoms as call center agents, go to ur insurance firms as underwriters. In 5yrs time u'll probably be seeking
employment from one whom saw d opportunities underneath this initiative and utilized.
