Indigenous company, Messers Bolanle Ogundele Ventures Kaduna, has appealed to Governor Uba Sani to intervene in a debt case between her company and a state government contractor. Chief Executive of the company, Mrs Bolanle Ogundele, who made the appeal during a press conference on Sunday in Kaduna, alleged that a Kaduna State company, Messers Ronchess Global Resources Limited has refused to pay over N14 million owed her company for the supply of materials since June 2022 , despite repeated demand.
According to Mrs Ogundele, her company supplied items to Messers Ronchess Global Resources Limited through a purchasing order since last year and the money has not been paid. The materials include sharp sand, hard core granites and stone base. She explained that the alleged refusal of Messers Ronchess Global Resources Limited to
settle the debit has exposed her to ridicule from those her company collected the materials on credit to carry out the supply.

“I am one of the suppliers in the ongoing project titled: Kaduna State Road Agency, KADRA, Urban Renewal Road Project. I did the supplies for Zaria, Danbushia and Sulta road projects respectively,” Mrs Ogundele explained. She said although she instituted a civil case before the court to retrieve the money, but nothing came out of it, alleging that ‘It is because I am a woman’, or an attempt to frustrate her efforts.” Ogundele also said that Ronchess Global Resources
Limited paid her company some amount of money in April last
year and up till now, nothing has been paid again.
“Last payment date was April 15, 2022, with some amount left unpaid of an invoice dated 23 March 2022, and we commenced new supply between 22 April 2022 and 25 May 2022, and up till date no payment was made,” she further said.

The Chief Executive Officer of Ronchess Global Resources Limited, Mr. Jackson Ukuevo declined to comment on the allegation because the civil case is before a court.

This is what Peter Obi has been saying. Government kill businesses by refusing to pay contractors and suppliers and using the money to party
