The management of Chinmark Group has allayed fears of its partners and investors, urging them to remain calm as their investments were safe.
In a message on Wednesday, the organisation said it was working to “comply with government regulations for quality control and assurance.”
The firm said since it commenced operations, it has not disappointed its clients and will not do so at this moment, noting that it was “taking all necessary measures to ensure the system starts working again and more effectively.”
According to the statement, Chinmark said its partnership arm would be off “for a short period of time which will not exceed 45-60 days.”
However, it stressed that all its offices remain open for business activities, urging its partners to “to kindly support the smooth running of all our businesses during this period to enable us to pass through this phase and remain as strong as ever.”
Recall that last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) informed Nigerians that Chinmark, which is operating Finafrica Investment Limited, and Poyoyo Investment (Pilvest) Nigeria Limited, were running illegal investment schemes.
This caused panic among investors, necessitating the call for calm.
Below is the full statement from Chinmark;
