The first batch of the 2,000 Dangote Graduate Drivers Training Scheme will conclude their training in January, 2013, an official has said. The scheme was launched in November at the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology.
The
Director-General of the institute, Alhaji Aminu Yusuf, stated this in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Monday. He said 2,000
graduates of various disciplines were expected to be trained under the scheme to
become professional truck drivers. Yusuf explained that the training would be
done in batches of 100 participants on quarterly basis over a period of four
years which would end in 2016.
He said the institute was carrying out the
training in conjunction with the Federal Vehicle Inspection Officers and the
Federal Road Safety Commission.
These graduates, which include women from
the Dangote Group, will undergo a three -month training because they have no
knowledge of driving before being certified as drivers. They have graduated from
different universities but have never driven vehicles before.
After being certified as drivers at the end of the training, they will be licensed immediately.
These drivers will be different from other drivers because they are not illiterates and their training is sound, he said. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com
According to him, the Dangote Group drivers will be taught theoretical and practical training which includes orientation, simulation and test track driving before being exposed to highway driving. He said the institute was focused on achieving its mandate to provide human capital development in the transport industry.
It is our inherent duty to provide human capacity for the entire transport industry through training and retraining, orientation skills and development and professional training.
We feel that we should extend our services to the lower cadre, especially our middle level and top management training institute.
But because of frequent demands from organisations for customised training programmes for drivers, we have now designed and customised such programmes.
He recalled that the institute, before the Dangote Group project, used to train an average of 300 drivers yearly.
Yusuf said the institute was being funded by the government to develop its staff abroad in rare fields of knowledge which was not available in Nigeria.
