Background of the Study
Driver shortages have become a significant challenge for the logistics and transportation industry globally, including in Nigeria. These shortages, driven by factors such as an aging workforce, low recruitment rates, and challenging work conditions, adversely affect supply chain performance by causing delivery delays, increased operational costs, and reduced customer satisfaction (Okafor & Musa, 2023).
Dangote Transport, a critical player in Nigeria’s supply chain ecosystem, faces similar issues, particularly in Yobe State. The region’s unique geographical and socio-economic challenges exacerbate the problem, further straining supply chain operations. This study explores the effects of driver shortages on Dangote Transport’s performance and identifies potential mitigation strategies (Ahmed & Sule, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Driver shortages present a pressing issue for supply chain performance in Nigeria, particularly for companies like Dangote Transport that operate in challenging terrains like Yobe State. The shortage of qualified drivers leads to delayed deliveries, reduced fleet utilization, and increased costs. Despite its importance, limited research has been conducted to assess the specific impact of driver shortages on supply chain performance in this context (Adewale & Ibrahim, 2023).
