BU continues to be intrigued by the Nigerian Saga playing out in Barbados. We reserve the right to refer to it as the Nigerian Scam at a future time. How so many things can go wrong with a transaction said to be well funded boggles the minds of sensible onlookers.
BU asked Donna St. Hill to answer three simple questions on behalf of the BU family to start the ball rolling – 1) . Please advise the nature of the relationship with you and Sharon Brathwaite and how it has affected the transaction. 2). Please advise why the BCC is not ready to admit the students given the preplanning and 3). Please advise the contingent arrangement with Renee Coppin at Infinity when the arrival of the students had to be delayed. What is the current status of that arrangement. BU’s communication to organiser of the Nigerian Student visit remains unanswered.
The following advice was offered to Barbadians by a Trinidadian contractor allegedly burnt by Donna St. Hill.
This is just a continuation of the confusion and betrayal of the Nigerian officials, this said group left Trinidad with outstanding bills pending to be paid. The transport company has been left with a bill and everyone pointing fingers. But for some reason all the fingers is being pointed back to Donna St.Hill… A word of suggestion anyone doing business pertaining to this group need to collect payments IN ADVANCE. The students are innocent in this whole situation as these officials has be entrusted with funds to ensure these students are taken care of and all expenses are covered. So where has the money disappeared to? Where is the accountability? What needs to happen for the Nigerian officials to fix this?…
…David, my company supplied all the bus shuttle for this group from the airport to the hotel and the daily shuttle from the hotel to the school and back. I received one payment. They arrived in Trinidad on Dec 1st 2014 and payment was made on Dec 11th 2014 to cover the first 2 to 3 days and after that I kept being promised another payment is on it’s way. My company was subcontracted by the person that was awarded the contract, however I have stand the risk to supply the service and pay all drivers. Now that they left I have been asking my contact and he keep saying talks is on with Donna to have the payments made, I don’t know what the talks is about if a service was provided, payments should be made. My staff was professional and on time and more than accommodating for the students. So it is quit unfair now for me to have to resort to highlighting this matter in an attempt to collect for the outstanding invoices. The person that contract me claims he submitted a letter to the Nigerian High Commissioner requesting that they cover the outstanding invoices, but that again referred back to Donna St.Hill as it was stated he received the funding for the said venture and was responsible to handle such matters.
