A troubling report has emerged alleging unpaid contracts and possible corruption involving Formal Act Legacy Limited, a company known for its community-based interventions in education, health, and water security.
The company, founded in 2011, collaborates with international organizations, local government agencies, and traditional leaders to promote sustainable development, focusing on Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4, and 6.
The allegations centered on claims that Formal Act Legacy Limited and its CEO, Dr. Bashir Ibrahim Bello, awarded contracts that were later sold to subcontractors who reportedly borrowed money to execute the projects. These subcontractors alleged they have not been paid for their work, with the debts stretching over three years.
Furthermore, there are accusations that influential figures, including some government officials and security service chiefs, may be complicit in the alleged misconduct.
The alleged non-payment of contractors has reportedly caused severe financial hardship for those affected, with some unable to provide basic needs for their families.
Accounts from affected subcontractors include distressing reports of poverty, families struggling with education and sustenance, and even deaths resulting from the associated economic strain.
The situation has sparked public outcry, with demands for an immediate and transparent investigation into the company’s activities.
Stakeholders are urging relevant authorities to examine the allegations and hold those responsible accountable.
Advocates stressed the importance of justice and prompt compensation for the subcontractors who have suffered.
The subcontractors, in their pursuit of justice, have already contacted EAGLE BRAIN, a noted social justice advocacy organization, seeking intervention and support in addressing their grievances.
