The management of Dangote Industries Limited, DIL, has clarified that the truck involved in a recent accident in Enugu State is not owned by the Dangote Group.
It said investigations had revealed that the vehicle belonged to Visco Investment Global Limited, a third-party operator.
“We are actively engaging with the appropriate agencies to determine why the truck in question was bearing our logo, despite not being part of our fleet. Moving forward, increased scrutiny will be applied to the unauthorised use of our brand identity, particularly the misuse of our logo on vehicles not affiliated with the Group,” it said.
DIL said while it was its policy not to comment publicly on individual cases, it was compelled to address the increasing spread of misinformation by attributing such incidents to the Dangote Group without any substantiated evidence.

“We categorically reject any attempt to exploit such tragedies for malicious or financial gain.
“The Dangote Group remains steadfast in upholding the highest standards of corporate responsibility, safety, and integrity in all our operations.”
