Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has once again cautioned truck operators against the unauthorized use of its logo on their vehicles, stressing that such actions have brought considerable embarrassment to the brand.
The company noted that despite earlier cautions, some truck operators with no ties to Dangote still use its logo on their vehicles, often for personal benefit or other undisclosed reasons.
It expressed concern that some of these trucks have been involved in incidents that were mistakenly linked to the company.
Consequently, Dangote has vowed to step up monitoring in partnership with relevant security agencies and law enforcement, while also taking legal action against violators.
“We have repeatedly cautioned truckers to refrain from using our logo on unauthorised vehicles.
“Moving forward, we will increase vigilance and take decisive legal action against misuse of our brand identity, particularly concerning vehicles unaffiliated with the Dangote Group,” the company emphasised.
Dangote also voiced concern about the growing spread of misinformation directed at the company, especially the baseless linking of road accidents to its trucks.
The company appealed to the public and the media to verify information before sharing and cautioned against being misled by individuals attempting to exploit tragedies for malicious or financial gain.
