Dangote Cement has rolled out over 150 new trucks to ease the distribution and availability of cement across the African countries. The move also aims to help distributors service their customers, deliver products in a timely manner and also take distributors and businesses to the next level.
Oare Ojeikere, Chief Marketing Officer of the Group, explained that the trucks would be at no cost to distributors and that all that was required was for the distributors to reach a certain volume of sales in three years.
?This scheme is about empowering our partners and ensuring they have what they require to get their products to their customers. Currently, the exchange rate has more or less ballooned out of proportion, making it increasingly difficult for people to invest in new trucks. Our business is powered by the ability to get cement to the retailers and the end-users,? said Ojeikere.
