Among the 13, 000 applicants for the Truck Drivers Trainee position announced in June at the Dangote Transport Super Fleet are six Ph.D holders and 704 masters degree holders.

Chairman of Dangote Group of Companies, Aliko Dangote made this revelation while he was speaking during the mentoring meeting t the World Bank Youth Forum.

The Company had called on Graduates to apply as truck drivers in it’s transport super fleet subsidiary, and the announcement had attracted wide comments bemoaning the qualification requested which suggested the awry pit of unemployment rate in the country.

More shocking however is the reality that super qualified applicants such as Ph.D holders and Masters Degree holders abound among those eventually applying as truck drivers in the Dangote Transport Super Fleet company.

I remember when this job advert was on NL and peeps gave the words - "haulage", "logistics" etc. Oh my!

Any PhD holder who actually conducted a research with the aim of being a driver must be checked upon! Let anyone say anything but such people know not what they are doing.

Please note that I respect each of us' personal preferences to earn a living in whatever we have a passion for but the worst a PhD holder could do is to teach in a secondary school!

Now, it's not only Bsc holders who know not why they went to school, it seems the 'phenomenon' is 'graduating'.
