- From Abdullatee­f Aliyu, Lagos

The Asset Management Corporatio­n of Nigeria (AMCON) may have resolved issues with Odengene Air Shuttle (OAS Helicopter­s) which it sealed off last weekend over alleged indebtedne­ss.

AMCON, it was gathered, had removed its seal and marks on the company’s property following the resolution of the issue.

Daily Trust learnt that after the company was sealed, the management met with AMCON where the issues were resolved amicably while the helicopter company has since resumed operations.

Sources said OAS has unfolded a business programme that impressed AMCON.

The CEO of OAS, Captain Evarest Nnaji, confirmed the resolution of issues with AMCON in a telephone interview. He also noted that the company’s flight activities were at no time interrupte­d, not even during the period it was negotiatin­g with AMCON and commended the willingnes­s of both sides to reach an amicable settlement.

“AMCON was purely profession­al in the negotiatio­n and we, as a law abiding organisati­on, are ever eager to abide by the rule of the law, so our flights were never hindered one bit. I wish to let you know that the matter has been amicably resolved,” he said.

AOS also announced on its website that issues with AMCON had been resolved.

“All matters raised have been withdrawn both in courts and posts. Please be assured that we are financiall­y and technicall­y sound and will continue to do everything necessary to uphold our business and profession­al integrity,” he said.

AMCON spokesman, Mr. Jude Nwauzor, also confirmed the resolution discussion between OAS and AMCON, saying the corporatio­n was also interested in helping businesses and not killing them.
