‘’I understand your concerns regarding the recent false reports about Dr. Mrs. Aisha Achimugu, CEO of Felak Group. Several reputable news outlets have confirmed that these allegations of her arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are unfounded. It has been clarified that Mrs. Achimugu was not arrested and was out of the country at the time these rumors surfaced. 

Mrs. Achimugu is a distinguished businesswoman and philanthropist. She serves as the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Felak Concept Group, a consortium with interests in sectors such as Engineering, Maritime, Oil and Gas, and ICT Learning and Development.   In addition to her corporate endeavors, she founded the SAM Empowerment Foundation, a non-governmental organization dedicated to empowering women, youths, and children in Nigeria.

These baseless allegations appear to be part of a smear campaign aimed at tarnishing her hard earned reputation. It’s essential to rely on verified information and credible news sources to avoid the spread of misinformation.

Ordinarily Dr. Mrs Achimugu OFR would not entertain us responding to these baseless rumors, however it has become pertinent that we respond to these malicious stories as these miscreants could attempt to successfully tarnish a reputation built over time through hardwork and resilience.”
