    Only in Nigeria! How UNPROFESSIONAL by Ecobank.

    Presumably the acquirer Flour Mills has done its Due Diligence (with ts transaction advisers) and is therefore aware of any debt being carried by Honeywell, which would be consequently reflected in the acquisition price (including indemnification provisions, if necessary) and/or has been reserve provisions for such debt.

    Accordingly, the letter from the Ecobank MD is truly BIZARRE!
