On behalf of the company, Group Managing Director Dr. Sola Obabori appreciated their efforts on the job, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. He reiterates, “The dedication that our truck operators demonstrated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to date is unparalleled and cannot be forgotten in a hurry. These men were on the highways for days and sometimes spent hours at state borders until they received clearance to proceed. It was not easy for them, but they had to play their part in ensuring that we fulfilled the promises made to our esteemed customers”.
“We are extremely grateful to them for the talent, skillset, and most importantly, invaluable work ethic that they each bring to the table every single day. We applaud them for the bravery, resilience, and discipline they have continued to display despite the numerous challenges. Their enormous contributions are critical in our ability to deliver excellent service to our esteemed customers nationwide”, he added.
