Nigerian company in bid to arm twist Zimbabwe govt systems

A Nigerian company, Courtville Business Solutions Plc, is reportedly trying to arm twist Government officials in its bid to win an electronic vehicle insurance cover note deal without going through security vetting processes.

Sources say that officials from the company's subsidiary registered here, Courtville Solutions Zimbabwe, are threatening Zinara officials to ensure that the deal sails through.

Courtville Business Solutions executive director (Africa Expansion) Oye Ogundele, who is based in Lagos, Nigeria, on September 14 wrote to Insurance Council of Zimbabwe (ICZ) chief executive officer Cletus Chitambira giving orders on how the electronic insurance cover note deal should be implemented.

In the process, Ogundele outlined some stunning resolutions favourable to his company, which he claimed were a result of a meeting held on September 7 at the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development offices.

Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Jorum Gumbo and Zinara board chairman Albert Mugabe, however, dismissed the resolutions.
