Lafarge Africa Plc has announced the establishment of its driving institute at its Ashaka Plant in Gombe State, North East Nigeria, as part of its commitment to conducting business in a safe and healthy manner for all stakeholders.
The North East Lafarge Driving Institute, which is the third of its kind owned by the company in Nigeria, is designed to provide industry-leading training programmes tailored to the requirements of Nigerian heavy goods vehicles .
Speaking at the launch event, the Managing Director, Ashaka Cement, Ibrahim Aminu, revealed that the institute underscores the company’s commitment to achieving ultimate safety mission of zero harm in its operations. “Today’s event is remarkable. According to Aminu, “Heavy Goods Vehicles are enablers of the supply chain industry, and in Nigeria alone, HGVs are responsible for 90per cent of Nigeria’s freight volume by weight. As a result, the new driving institute will instill and ensure a safety culture in our HGV drivers and other third parties involved in our supply chain.”
He continued, “The training programme allows our drivers to improve their skills and knowledge of road safety in a systematic manner. The courses focus on the key principles of defensive driving, which make drivers better prepared to respond to risks on the road.”
