“The company in question, Value Trust Investment Ltd, has briefed us to represent it in respect of the contractual dispute.

“The clear evidence of this is that, by a letter dated 23rd January, 2007, the Benue State Government itself wrote and acknowledged that forty percent (40%) of the work had been executed as at that date by Value Trust Investment Ltd,” the chambers claimed.
