Dangote Group has been recognised with the Road Safety Corporate Excellence Award for its sustained commitment to promoting road safety and responsible transportation in Nigeria.
The award was presented by the Kogi State Government during the Kogi State Road Safety Stakeholders Conference in Lokoja.
Stakeholders from across Nigeria’s road transport sector commended the Pan-African conglomerate for its continued support of initiatives aimed at reducing traffic accidents and protecting lives along one of the country’s most strategic transportation corridors.
Presenting the award, Kogi State Commissioner for Transport, Atuluku Victor Levi, said the honour reflects Dangote Group’s growing reputation as a champion of safe transportation practices.
He noted the company’s long-standing collaboration with government and road safety agencies to enhance driver safety awareness and strengthen Nigeria’s transportation ecosystem.
“As one of Nigeria’s largest industrial conglomerates and a major user of the nation’s road network, Dangote Group has continued to champion safety standards across its logistics and transport operations,” Levi stated.
He emphasised Kogi’s strategic role as a transit hub linking several states, making stakeholder collaboration critical to reducing crashes and improving mobility.
Receiving the award on behalf of the company, Abdullahi Aliyu, Assistant Divisional Director, Dangote Cement Transport (DCT), Obajana, said the recognition reinforces the Group’s core value of safety.
“This award reflects Dangote Group's unwavering commitment to safety across all our operations. At Dangote, we believe every journey should end safely,” Aliyu said.
He added that the company will continue investing in safety awareness, driver training, and responsible transport practices.
Aliyu highlighted that road safety remains a shared responsibility requiring continuous partnership between government, corporate organisations, and road users.
He noted that the recognition aligns with Dangote’s sustainability agenda and supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Conference stakeholders praised private sector support for road safety campaigns, stressing that government-industry partnerships are essential to improving public safety.
In a related move, Dangote Cement Transport recently launched an ultra-modern drivers’ lounge at its Ibese plant in Ogun State.
The facility allows drivers to rest and refresh before and after trips to promote well-being and eliminate fatigue.
Murilo Silva, Head of Dangote Cement Transport, urged drivers to utilise the lounge to ensure they remain alert and sound of mind on the road.
