Harmony Holdings Limited, Kwara State
wholly owned investment management company, has lauded Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq over his approval of the disbursement of bailout funds, part of which was used to pay the six months outstanding salaries of staff at the holdco and several years of other entitlements including the ones inherited from the previous administration.
Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mallam Abdullahi Abdulmajeed in a statement on Wednesday appreciated the Governor on behalf of the group, noting the intervention was very timely as the staff now wear glad looks into the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
“On behalf of Harmony Holdings Limited, I offer deep appreciations to His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Executive Governor of Kwara State who is also our business owner for his recent approval of disbursement of bailout funds to the company. We are sincerely grateful as this is not the first time we will be benefitting from His Excellency’s magnanimity,” the statement read.
“Part of the funds have been judiciously used to pay the six months outstanding salaries of staff and several years of other entitlements including the ones inherited from the previous administration dating back to 2018. This intervention could not have come at a better time as our staff are now smiling to the banks and are very much elated into the Sallah celebrations. The buck now stops on our table. We will always take responsibility and ensure the turnaround of the investment portfolios under the holdco despite the daunting challenges we inherited. One step at a time, we will clear all the mess.”
The GMD/CEO meanwhile explained that the payment of all the dues will be followed up by restructuring to enable the company meet its overhead and ensure a sustainable system, adding that same will cascade to all the strategic business units.
