N150m Gotel fund: You lied against me - John Chiahemen opens up on Atiku - Daily Post Nigeria

paid him to settle the bills of foreign consultants hired by his media company GOTEL has now denied receiving such funds.reacted to the reports

He explained further, “My attention has been drawn to a publication in The News/PM News and Sahara Reporters online news sites, both of January 16, 2020, captioned ‘On the matter of Gotel Expatriates’ . “The publication also stated that ‘for the avoidance of doubt, the funds dedicated to the payment of salaries of staff, both local and expatriates that were engaged by Chiahemen himself were made available to him. All those concerned are advised to contact Mr. Chiahemen accordingly.’

“I am aware that prior to my unceremonious removal as the Managing Director, payment of salaries had become difficult since mid-2015, and the Group Financial Controller had informed management on several occasions that this was due to the downturn in Nigeria’s economy. Consequently, management did not renew contracts for international staff when they came to an end and others agreed to cut theirs short and leave by the end of 2015.

“As I have further explained below, the so-called visitation panel was a vindictive and a scapegoating exercise that had nothing to do with Gotel Africa but with the breakdown and rot of equipment at the Yola station over the years before the arrival of my management team. “To emphasize “funds dedicated to the payment of salaries of staff “were not in my custody. All the former international staff, including myself, received a statement of salary arrears from the Company Secretary long after I had left Gotel.

“The NBC also included Gotel on its trial national digital service from Jos that was due to be extended to Abuja. All these services have been shut down because key satellite carriers cut Gotel off for nonpayment of platform fees.
