Strongly agreed with the writer of this piece. Thank you for putting this up.

This move by the Federal government has proven how weak they are and a show of shame.

Thank you once again.

The company ‘INTELS’ has done terrifically well in many ways:

1. Massive employer of labour

2. Impacted tremendously on the lives of the disabled persons within and outside the various communities

3. Regular scheduled scholarship programs designed for the kids/adults for the better enhancement of their future

4. Medical outreach to the society

5.Financial/Revenue generation through the bank’s highly regulated fluctuating interest rates

6. Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) revival

7. Ports development / maintenance

8. Skills and Acquisition centres’

9. Training ground for Nigeria students within / outside, who have been placed to undergo Industrial Training as part of the basic mandatory requirement in their various institutions

10. Revenue boosting through consistent meticulous various tax remittances and many others

These achievements has brought in return, meritorious awards, tittles and favors from individuals, clients and the government for all her fruitful decades of services to the country.

At this point in time where there is oil fall, dwindling economy, agitations etc., is it the appropriate time to introduce/implement the Treasury Single Account (TSA)? Would this not have been wildly acceptable if we live in a less corrupt country? Who will be the beneficiaries of the TSA? Will it attract investors or mar them? Would it be judiciously utilized or will it be left in the hands of the ravenous wolves whose intentions are undetermined, their mouth wildly open to gulp the revenue generated and quickly divert it to the foreign countries/accounts for their personal selfish gluttonous gratifications? Would it be used to champion basic amenities such as good workable housing schemes, restore to the fullest extent the power sector, health care, education, water resources etc. for the rural and urban areas?

What has gone wrong with the heightened budgets allocated to these schemes? Is the government playing her part in the power sector? What has happened to our water board corporation? How about the overly dilapidated and deplorable condition of our federal and state hospitals and roads? Our teachers, are they rightly rewarded for their contributions or are they continuously subjected and abandoned to their fate: most state schools are still being owed for short/long period of time. What of the agitations of the students in our higher institutions, constant hikes in the school fees? In fact, schools are left in the hands of the private sectors who manages it anyhow they like while private hospitals are everywhere for only the rich / middle class if any. People are now reduced to patronize the local chemists, prefers self-medication rather than go to a standard hospital because they can not afford the costs, agitations of the unemployed educated/skilled youths who are yet to strike a balance on life, what about the farmers who toils day and night and wake up to see their farms vandalized by unidentified men etc.

Why are companies wounding-up and investors withdrawing their investments speedily? Why are employees/employers always at logger heads? Could it be said that the stringent policies are making life unbearable for the employers while the employees suffers at the end? There is a saying that ‘when two elephants fights, the grasses suffers’.

These are thought-provoking questions every right thinking person(s) should be poised to ask if we are to move forward as giant of Africa.

All well-meaning Nigeria in the diaspora, investors, shareholders, young and old are beckoned to rise up, speak out and condemn this great abominable injustice currently melted out on ‘INTELS’.

The government can no longer be allowed to flamboyantly default the ‘PORT CONCESSION, PILOTAGE DUES’ gentlemanly agreement or any other contractual agreement with other sectors of the economy.

Read Agency Agreement and you'll understand that it is totally wrong move by the federal government and deserves condemnation.

It is totally wrong for a valid running contract to be canceled by the government.

The issue here has nothing to do with who owns the company, the issue is, has Intels as a company defaulted in their Agency pilotage agreement? The answer is "NO". Why go ahead to terminate the contract or introduce TSA when they are yet to recover their investment?

This company has operated for over 30 years, which Nigerian company can stand the test of time. Intels has done very well in port operation and never defaulted in the agreement.

Those saying they charge in dollars etc, are you not in Nigeria to see that Nigerian's currency is weak compared to the dollar? Every business has terms of service. They also remit dollar payments to the federal government where applicable.

If you a a good non-corrupt business man, you'll condemn this move by the government.

I really detest men and women who can not close their mouth and learn to live in peace.

Yes, you did good for her and she repaid with evil. God saw everything and he is the one to repay.

Must you come in the media and be talking about it? It shows something is wrong with you...you are weak. Meanwhile, the lady in question has been quiet all these period.

You feel you are embarrassing her but in truth you are embarrassing yourself and your kids.

Please move on, that's life.

All well-meaning Nigeria in the diaspora, investors, shareholders, young and old are beckoned to rise up, speak out and condemn this great abominable injustice currently melted out on ‘INTELS’.

The government can no longer be allowed to flamboyantly default the ‘PORT CONCESSION, PILOTAGE DUES’ gentlemanly agreement or any other contractual agreement with other sectors of the economy.

For the survival and growth of our economy, the onus lies within the leaders in all sectors of government (Executive, Legislator, Judiciary, Investors and of course you and I as shareholders.

Intels do all investment, full sponsorship of the operations. Will it be right the government takes the lion share? Even the blind can see Intels contribution in the development of Nigerian ports. Do we believe that the government we have today can manage half of what this company has done and achieved? Let's be wise for once please. The introduction of TSA to investors, do you think it is a right move in a country where corruption is eaten as food? TSA can only work in a less corrupt country.

How can the Nigerian government forget so soon that ‘INTELS’ has over the decades proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are and in fact, remain the chief pioneer of the port operations? How can they quickly dismiss/forget Intels enormous involvement in the development and maintenance of old and new ports?
How can a relationship that was built over 3 decades ago be allowed to be swept down the drain, overtaken by cankerworms, reptiles and guerrillas who are ever ready to trample and devour anyone who is not ready to dance to their unpleasant rhythm.

Decades ago, the environment was filled with rivers, bushes, and hardened criminals who built their tents on these zones, the activities of the Nigerian Ports Authority were almost dead, who among the competitors/agitators envisaged that these dangerous zones can be transformed into areas ripe for tiling, planting, weeding and of course harvesting? He who sows bountifully expects to reap in return bountifully.

Will the case of these ‘forces’ be likened to a saying “food is ready, come and eat when in the actual sense, they exhibited lack of interest in the preparation of the sumptuous meals? Will it be right for these persons to wake up, suddenly discovers that food is ready and jump-starts the meal without a recourse to the one who has painstakingly undergone rigorous processes involved in the preparation of the meal? Why would anyone reasonable expect to reap where he did not sow? Why not allow one who has meticulously sown to reap his crops in peace or better still support him so that together you can win and reap?

Why do we easily forget yesterdays’ and amazingly forget and throw away today and continue to have and retain a blank memory of tomorrow, the future?
What has the company called INTELS done to deserve the punishment they go through in the hands of these individuals, the government and the unhealthy competitors? Yes, competing is encouraged but it has to be highly professional and decent.

Are verifiable evidences not provided to prove INTELS professionalism in the handling of port activities?
INTELS has been operating for over 3 decades, can we pause and rewind our memories on what those areas now developed and still developing looked like before the prompt intervention of INTELS.

It is only the blind that can not see the extent of development on Nigerian’s port operations by INTELS. Yet, in this digital world, the blind can feel things happening around him and quickly discerns whether those events are right or wrong. The deaf / dumb may not quickly say audible spoken words, yet, writes coherently about what they feel, what they perceived and what they believed.

INTELS has proven without mincing words that she is really the ‘FATHER’ of port developments/maintenances.

They have the métiers required to move this country forward in revenue generation activities, climbing/piloting the rigorous ladder of processes and policies in port management to a successful degree to the extent possible.
INTELS is like the mimosa tree that can not be gruffly handled. Do those ‘forces’ feel that the company is flabby and can be frustrated until they become fizzled out of ‘HER’ multimillion dollars investments in Onne, Warri, Calabar, and that of the largest investments going on in the Badagry, Lagos State? If you are in this company's shoes, will you allow your hardwork to sink?

Please and please, it is not an option at all. It is quite unprofessional. It is better you attend without a tie bro.

Please I am interested. My whatsapp no is: 08063643408
