The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has commended Dangote Cement Plc for recording significant improvement in road safety through the introduction of innovative transport safety policies and operational reforms.

The Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, gave the commendation during a visit to the FRSC Headquarters where he praised the company for setting new standards in road safety management.

He urged the sustained implementation of initiatives that are reshaping Nigeria’s transport landscape, describing Dangote Cement as a benchmark for transport management and road safety practices, not only in Nigeria but across Africa.

According to him, comparative data between 2025 and 2026 revealed a 56 per cent reduction in road crashes involving Dangote Cement trucks, alongside a 36 per cent decline in fatalities and a 52 per cent reduction in injuries.

Mohammed said the achievement reflected the effectiveness of Dangote Cement’s Gap Analysis and the strength of its internal transport safety policies, which were described as worthy of emulation by logistics operators across Africa.

He further noted that Dangote Cement’s success reinforces the belief that when industry leaders get safety right, the benefits extend to the entire nation and the continent at large.

Earlier, Head of Transport at Dangote Cement, Murilo Silva, said the company continue to invest in advanced transport management systems, including automated inspection technologies and artificial intelligence–driven solutions aimed at improving operational efficiency and road safety.
