6 PHD, 704 MASTERS HOLDERS AMONG APLLICANT FOR DRIVERS JOB IN DANGOTE

Of the 13,000 applicants who sought employment as Graduate Executive Truck Drivers in Dangote group, there were 6 Ph.D, 704 Masters and over 8,460 Bachelor degree holders but the company only needed 100 drivers. According to Dangote, most of the applicants were from reputable universities and had the needed quality and qualifications.

It is saddening that Ph.D and Masters degree holders are seeking placement as drivers. This is a wake up call for government to start the implementation of credible programmes to improve the living condition of Nigerians and do more to create employment or create enabling environment for the organised private sector to employ more Nigerians.
