Trailer drivers working at the Obajana cement factory, Kogi State, have been protesting alleged 'unfair treatment' by the management of the company.

Trailer drivers working at the Obajana cement factory, Kogi State, have been protesting alleged “unfair treatment” by the management of the company.

The angry truck drivers were demanding for the removal of the management over unhealthy industry practices against them. He said, “The drivers are treated like nobody in Obajana. Sometimes we have to effect repairs on the trucks with our money to keep our job. They hardly give us enough fuel. These are parts of the problems we are facing here.”

He added that the workers wanted change and hoped that their matter would be treated with the urgency it required. However, the Head of Corporate Communications, Dangote Group, Tony Chiejina, told our correspondent in a telephone conversation on Tuesday that the truck drivers were angry over the company’s decision to install anti-theft devices on the trucks.
