In response to allegations that Single Window System Technology Limited (SWST) presented falsified document to register with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the federal government has placed a temporary ban on dealings with the company.

Registrar General of the Corporate Affairs Commission, (CAC), Bello Mahmud, made this known to the ad-hoc committee investigating the contract agreement between Ministry of Finance and SWST at the concluding session of the investigative hearing yesterday.
?
Represented by his Special Assistant, Abubakar Alhaji, Mahmud told the panel, headed by the deputy leader, Leo Ogor, that the letter from SWST stated that the company’s three directors were Nigerians and CAC records confirmed them as one Ahmed Bashir Bello, Mohammed Nasir Kaoje and Chinoalusa Ciona.
He added that the document presented to it by the legal team of SWST upon which it registered the company to do business in Nigeria was not genuine, even as he added that the CAC was still investigating the matter.

“The document presented to the CAC by their legal officers shows that the three directors are Nigerians, but since it has been discovered that one of the directors is not a Nigerian, we have placed a caveat on the company,” he told the lawmakers.
?Webb Fontaine, Cotecna Destination Inspection Nigeria Limited and SGS Scanning Nigeria limited also made presentations where they claimed that they had lived up to the agreement signed with the Ministry of Finance.
