The issue of five banks that are not list on Nigeria stock market, but are doing business with the company was raised, because they add no value to shareholders.<\/p>\n

Responding to shareholders questions and comments, chairman of the board of directors Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe said all the issues raised will be addressed comprehensively in a statement that will be send to all shareholders.<\/p>\n

Although, the managing director, Mr Carl Cruz who attended virtually explained that over the past years the board and management try to bring the company to growth and profit, increase relevance in the mind of consumer and win more market share.<\/p>\n

The executive director finance, Adesola Sotande Peters, commenting on the issue of impairments and receivable, said it has to do with delay in documentation involving business activities in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire and Ghana, which they will resolved before the end of the year.<\/p>
