SIFAX Group has reacted to a viral video claiming that one of its subsidiaries, Ports and Cargo Handling Services Limited, has put up over 3,000 containers for sale.
In a statement by the Group Head, Corporate Communications, Muyiwa Akande, the company clarified that the individual featured in the video, who identified himself as Oloja Oluwasegun,and seen wearing a SIFAX-branded reflective jacket was not an employee of SIFAX Group.
“After a thorough internal investigation, we can confirm that this individual has never been employed by SIFAX Group or any of its subsidiaries. The misuse of our branded attire is both misleading and concerning.
“SIFAX Group operates in full compliance with industry regulations and standards, and at no time have we authorized the sale of containers, whether empty or overtime, as alleged in the video.
“The claims made in the footage are baseless and do not reflect our organization’s policies or practices, ” the statement said.
The company urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information that could mislead the public.
It added that it is currently working closely with law enforcement and other relevant agencies to uncover the source of this misinformation and bring those involved to justice.
“We appreciate the trust our clients, partners, and the general public have reposed in SIFAX Group, and we stay true to our unwavering commitment to professionalism and service delivery, ” the statement concluded.
