Dangote Cement Hosts Safety Retreat for Drivers in Ogun

At the 2026 Drivers’ Safety Retreat organized by Dangote Cement at the Ibese plant in Ogun State, drivers discussed critical issues such as road safety, workplace welfare, and operational challenges. The retreat addressed concerns including rising living costs, work-related expenses, and delays in drug-test results.

Arvind Pathak, the Group Managing Director of Dangote Cement, highlighted the company's commitment to employee welfare and safety, stating that the company values the sacrifices made by drivers. He urged them to prioritize safety over delivery schedules, advising them to rest when fatigued.

Pathak emphasized that while trucks can be replaced, human lives cannot. The Aboro of Ibeseland, Oba Rotimi Oluseyi Mulero, echoed this sentiment, encouraging drivers to ensure their safe return home.

Murilo Silva, the Head of Transport, warned against reckless driving practices. Awards were presented to eight drivers, four fleet officers, and one STM recipient for their commitment to safety.
