Dangote Transport has unveiled a Driver Monitoring Control Room at its operational base in Ibese, Ogun State, to track driving behavior and enhance road safety across its nationwide fleet.

The facility allows the company to monitor truck drivers in real time and identify risky behavior for prompt intervention. Speaking during a media tour of the facility, the Head of Operations at Dangote Transport, Ibese, David Idiege, described the center as a key addition to the firm’s safety systems.

“We are constantly looking for innovative ways to strengthen safety across our transport operations. The Driver Monitoring Control Room represents another significant milestone in our efforts to ensure that all journeys are conducted safely and responsibly,” Idiege said.

Idiege noted that safety remains central to managing the company’s large fleet.

“Safety remains our highest priority. We recognize the responsibility that comes with operating a large fleet of vehicles across the country. That is why we continue to invest heavily in technology, systems and training that help us maintain the highest safety standards,” he added.

Highlighting the company’s approach, he stated, “Our approach is holistic. Technology alone is not enough. We combine technology with strict operational procedures, driver welfare programmes, competency assessments, recertification exercises and continuous capacity building to ensure that our drivers remain professional and safety-conscious at all times.”

Addressing driver fatigue, Idiege emphasized compliance with mandatory rest policies: “We do not encourage driver fatigue. Every driver is required to comply with our journey management procedures and mandatory rest schedules. We understand that alert and healthy drivers make safer decisions on the road.”

The Head of Transport Control, Ifeanyi Ezeala, explained that on-board camera systems have been installed across thousands of trucks in partnership with Nova Tracks to provide live feeds and automated alerts.

“The technology allows us to monitor driver activities while journeys are in progress. The cameras provide live feeds and alerts, helping us detect behaviours that could compromise safety and enabling us to take immediate corrective action,” Ezeala said.

He stressed that the system operates on a preventive rather than punitive basis: “Our objective is preventive rather than punitive. We want to identify potential risks before they develop into incidents. By having visibility into operations in real time, we can contact drivers where necessary, provide guidance and support safer driving decisions.”

Ezeala added that the data collected supports broader operational management: “The transportation industry is evolving rapidly, and technology now plays a critical role in fleet safety management. By integrating advanced monitoring systems into our operations, we are creating a safer environment for our drivers and for all road users.”
