Speaking at the sideline of a lecture/workshop organised by Chicago Business School in collaboration with the Economic Finance and Crime Commission (EFCC) for Real Estate Managers and Realtors in Port Harcourt, Dr.Ononyumolo ,stressed the importance of apply due diligence when it comes to  investing in property, saying that following due diligence will help members of the public or would be investors or a Realtors to identify which property is fake and which is not.

He maintained that the lecture from officials of the EFCC, was to sensitise members of the public and Real Estate managers including Realtors on the dangers of economic crimes, adding that the lecture will  boost  images of practitioners and help them to apply their trade in the best interest of the public  and even scale off land grabbing activities and fake agents from the system.

Dr.Ononyumolo who is also a United Nation Peace Ambassador condemned the rising trend in land grabbing,pointing out that the  ugly trend  is not in the best interest of the public and the business community, but quickly added that in Swisszaco limited their ultimate and set goals is anchored on  due diligence and giving investors value for their money.

The Swisszaco boss explained that as a corporate organisation they strive to ensure that the  best practice is followed in line with relevant laws of the land and the regulatory agencies, stating that it was the obvious reason the EFCC came to sensitise members of the public and staff of his organisation.

Amb.Julius Ononyumolo clarified thus “what Chicago business School does in Nigeria is that, our school functions as a satellite campus.
