I believe you they should be first to be certified to ISO 27001 in Africa not just Nigeria. Pls validate and update
I believe Oando should be the first in Africa And not just Nigeria to be ISO 27001 certified, the rest mostly do ISO 9001.
Pls research and update the narrative
Thank you.
No amount of certification will wash away the criminal acts of the current Oando mgt.
1. In 2016, Wale withheld Oando Report of over N180 billion loss for more than a year and sold off his share shortly before releasing it.
2. Most Oando Directors also act as Vendors to Oando, where they charge exorbitant fees.
3. They fix their salaries without shareholders approval. On average, wale earns over N600 million through his personal companies and salary from Oando.
If you are a shareholder in Oando, you need to be weary of the current managment.
We have been shareholders of Oando for almost 8 years until we recently pulled out from the shareholders ‘ ‘dream killer’ to greater and greener sectors/companies.
The impression we all have about the company is that oando board has a criminal, manipulating and lying tendencies despite the hypes by their heavily paid PR devils
Their share price which dropped from N96 to N2.97k over 9years is a proof to the fact that they are not not loved by many any more .
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Oando is the best not just Nigeria but Africa in general
