LATEEF LAI OGUNGBADERO at the HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE IN THE FEDERAL CAPITAL
TERRITORY ABUJA (Ref: 613-6133) dated 8th October 2013 demanding
redress for the abuse done to Messrs. BSM INT’NAL PETROLEUM REFINERY &
PETROCHEMICALS LIMITED CONSORTIUM by Zamfara state Government of Nigeria to
which no REJOINDER was communicated or Funds Remitted.
The
undersigned on behalf of BSM Consortium hereby use this medium to channel our
grievances to the World Leaders, International Business Community and Friends
of Nigeria, to as a matter of urgency unite against this impious, self serving
and politically motivated act of INJUSTICE.
Consequently,
we advise the Federal Government of Nigeria to save Nigeria the embarrassment associated
with a global outcry from an International disposition to which the forthcoming
World Press Conference Tagged “UNVEILING THE POTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND RISKS OF
INVESTING IN NIGERIA – THE BSM EXPERIENCE IN ZAMFARA STATE” seeks to depict.
We
enjoin all our Sympathizers in Nigeria and Zamfara State in particular to
remain resolute in condemning the gross act of political impunity and economic
sabotage of our leaders evident in the malicious destruction of BSM Petroleum
Refinery Heliport Complex next to the NNPC Depot Gusau and BSM Consortium Head
Office Complex in Gusau, Zamfara State which has since deprived staff of numerous
training opportunities thereby rendering them unemployed. Whilst thanking all
our Partners across the globe for their immense support, patience and
understanding at these difficult times.
The
World Press Conference is to admonish the minds of International corporate
organizations and potential investors in Nigeria to be guided without prejudice
by the dilemma of BSM INT’NAL PETROLEUM REFINERY & PETROCHEMICALS LIMITED -
an indigenous company with affiliations to Global Multinationals which
facilitated economically viable initiatives and Integrated solutions; tackling the deficit issues bedeviling the
Northern region in 2009 under the purposeful leadership of the then Executive
Governor of Zamfara State His Excellency ALHAJI MAHMUDA ALIYU SHINKAFI
(DALLATUN ZAMFARA) who on behalf of
Zamfara State Government of Nigeria executed a Memorandum of
Understanding/Agreement. This was duly ratified by the Zamfara State House of
Assembly and Zamfara State Executive Council.
Consequently, this project was launched in a Ground Breaking Ceremony
attended by His Excellency himself.
The
Infrastructural Development and Economic Emancipation Initiative of BSM
Consortium was intercepted and brought to an abrupt end by some selfish and
unscrupulous miscreants who by way of ethnic, religious and political divides
launched various attacks on the Chairman Board of Directors OTUNBA LATEEF LAI
OGUNGBADERO ranging from failed kidnap to assassination attempts. These
dastardly acts were ordered by the incumbent Executive Governor, in
collaboration with Leaders who claim dominance to the region of the country,
deciding who invests in it regardless of Due Process, good Practice of
international standard, Morals and the provisions of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria Constitution.
In
conclusion, we wish to emphasize unequivocally that we are nonpolitical and
operate across regions without prejudice to any association or institution.
Therefore, the proposed World Press Conference is not intended to jeopardize
the concerted efforts of this administration in encouraging Foreign Direct
Investments in Nigeria. Rather, it is intended to serve as a caveat to investors by showcasing the inherent danger associated
with investments of this nature in a country where the Government lack the
concomitant protection for investors.
It
is our hope that the government will look beyond International road shows, long
speeches, warm handshakes etc. and have a RETHINK in the forthcoming World
Press Conference.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

OF
