CRSG Didn’t Lose N1bn Revenue In Akamkpa As Alleged -Consultant
A revenue consultant to a firm operating under the aegis of Flourishing Vine Unique Services Limited, has urged the Cross River State Government not to listen to claims by a group known as Concerned Cross River Indigene, which alleged that the revenue consultant caused the state government to lose N1.1 billion.
The consultant charged the Cross River State Government not to heed to calls by the group demanding that the consultant be sanctioned.
Director of Administration, Mr. Asuquo Akpan, gave the advice while reacting to calls by the group for the government should sanctioned and blacklist the revenue consulting firm.
Akpan expressed wonder over why the firm and its consultant were still being witch-hunted by the group, stressing that even after they had petitioned the consultant in Akamkpa Local Government Area (LGA) to the EFCC.
The administrative officer allegations leveled against the consultant and the firm was politically motivated.
Akpan recounted in the past, some people had written on anonymous petition and publish a newspaper advertorial castigating the consultant.
It is believed that persons behind the anonymous petition and the newspaper advert are Mrs. Judith Bozimo and the National Assembly member representing Akamkpa/Biase Federal constituency at the national Assembly,”Akpan said.
He urged the writers of the petition in question to desist forth from trying to tarnish the image of Ntufam Owuna, who he claimed had worked very hard to end his reputation adding that as a Director of the consulting firm, Owuna had never done anything wrong.
“All revenue of Cross River State government and that of Akamkpa local government are often duly remitted as agreed in the terms of contract with Flourishing Vine entered.”
“His assets and liabilities are verifiable and he has instructed his lawyers to respond accordingly to the libelous publications against him by Vanguard newspaper of 30th July 2019,” Akpan further stated.
