You’ve No Contract To Fix Kwara Hotel, Court Tells MM’s Crystal Group

An Ilorin High Court has struck out a case instituted against the Kwara State Government by the Hon. Moshood Mustapha-owned Crystal Group of Companies Limited over the remodelling of the legacy Kwara Hotel.

Hon. Justice E. B. Mohammed struck out the case after upholding the preliminary objections of the state government on the matter.

The judge said no document was before the court to show that the Crystal Group had any valid contract with the state government to remodel the iconic hotel, shutting down the much-parroted claim that the government had reneged on its commitment with the firm.

The court held that a draft agreement or an unsigned agreement by either of the parties is worthless and cannot cloth Crystal Group of Companies Limited with the legal right to pursue any action against the government regarding Kwara Hotel.

“The claimant’s suit against Kwara State Government on Kwara Hotels is hereby struck out,” the court held, potentially turning the page on the topic.

The government had repeatedly explained that it signed no agreement with the Crystal Group and that whatever talks between them had not reached the level of a legal agreement that is binding on either party.
