Sounds like all too many fresh new starts in Nigeria, including Caverton, which start in a blaze of publicity and big spending only to come to naught because the 'big men' at the top won't allow the senior managers they've hired do their jobs. I still hope that Arik may turn out to be the one that's different, but this doesn't bode well.
Unless our NCAA the Canadian DoT and Bombarier are all lying these A/C are about as new as they can get.
Check your facts before going into print about something you clearly know nothing about.
As for the MD talk about streching the truth !!!!!!! How resign comes out of being sacked I don't know same for that other fellow that made up the dutch connection.
Arik is what it says it is and no smear campaign by disgruntled ex employees should be allowed to detract from the fine efforts being made by a lot of dedicated people Nigerian and expat alike
