“It’s no longer in doubt neither can it be contested that the late delivery of the award trophies on January 9, 2024 at 10:50am three days after the holding of the first edition of the TGnews has caused our clients a huge setback, frustration, embarrassment and has seriously painted their image in bad light before the teeming members of the public in Adamawa State and Nigeria as a whole.

“Flowing from the foregoing our clients have further instructed us to demand for an urgent written apology to be published in the National Newspapers (Daily Trust and Punch) , to immediately pay the sum of N20 million only as special damages and the sum of N10 million only as general damages and the sum of N2 million only as compensation.
“In any event your company and its international partner FedEx neglected, declined or refused to comply with our demands aforesaid our clients have further instructed us to institute a legal action against Your company before a competent Court to enforce their claims within fourteen days after the service of this letter on your company.
“Further take note that the service of this demand letter on Your company shall be deemed to be proper service on FedEx your international business partner. “A stitch in time saves nine,” The letter read.
