Commissioning the school on Wednesday,
Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Boboye Oyeyemi, said it
was historic and unique.
He said, “This is what we had been waiting
for. You made it. I have observed that Dangote has done a lot to address truck
crashes, and I must commend them for this.”
The Director, Logistics of Dangote Cement
(transport section), Mr Juan Carlos Rincon, said the school was an expression
of the determination of the company to halt the incidences of auto crashes in
the country.
The Executive Secretary of the National
Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Prof Idris Bugaje, said NBTE would
partner Dangote Cement for a successful accreditation and takeoff of the
school.
The Bajana of Obajana, HRH Oba Idowu
Isenibi, said he was optimistic that the school would help address auto crashes
in the country, even as he described the President of the Dangote Group, Aliko
Dangote, as a “rescuer and God sent” to their communities that should be
emulated by other investors in the country.
The Olu of Akpata Oba Frederick Balogun
urged other investors to emulate the company.
After the launch, Dangote Cement and FRSC signed a pact to strengthen cooperation on successful operation of the school.
