Topic: Dangote Group Recruiting Graduate Trainee Drivers! Wow!

While Dangote is looking for 2,000 graduate truck drivers, it has become deluged with13,000 applications, a development which a top-level management staff at the Lagos head office of the Group says paints a graphic picture of “how bad the unemployment situation in the country is.”
Further investigations by News Express revealed that Ph.D and MBA holders are among the applicants.
“It is true,” a top management official told News Express , adding: “We didn’t expect to have Ph.D and MBA holders among the applicants and this has forced us to go back to the drawing board. How can you use a Ph.D or MBA holder as a truck driver? This hasmade us to start working on developing a new curriculum for the training programme. We are now creating structures we initially didn’t have in mind, such as Supply Chain Management and Customer Care. We also have to make the salary competitive in view of the caliber of the applicants.”

Hmm! Very good.

Good indeed.. What is good about it if i may ask??

The last sentences said they'd be creating structures that were not in place and the salary will be made more competitive. That's good for those who'll finally get the job, methinks.
