BACKGROUND

 

Diamond Remedies Limited was incorporated on 19th June, 1997 with Registration Number (RC: 314913). The corporate office is located at 28A, Oguntona Crescent, By First Pedro Bus-stop, Oshodi-Oworo Expressway, Gbagada Phase 1, Lagos State, Nigeria. It comprises a separate storey building painted cream and brown with a black iron gate.

 

Diamond Remedies Limited’s business comprises of importation and sales of various pharmaceutical products, consumables and wide range of medical and hospital equipment. In the course of last ten years, the company has developed over sixty brands of pharmaceutical products and has carved a niche for itself in every key segments of the market.

 

The company has also been actively growing its market share in the area of importation, supply and sales of various types of medical and hospital equipment. It has executed numerous supply projects under the various World Bank Assisted Health Programmes, and have been a regular supplier of medical and hospital equipment to various Teaching hospitals, State Health Management Boards for use in General Hospitals. The company also maintains a network of key distributions spread across the country which ensures availability and access to its quality products.

 

During our visit on 12th April, 2012, we met Ms. Chinwe A. (Secretary) who stated that the company is now dormant due to some unforeseen circumstances. Though she added that the premises has being occupied by Tenderwell Limited, the sister company and in addition every other business is done through Tenderwell Limited. She promised to contact us if her management is willing to supply other details about Tenderwell Limited since Diamond Remedies Limited is dormant.

 

Conclusion:  Based on our visit, discussion with the Secretary at the sister company “Tenderwell Limited”, we discovered that the company is out of business for now and no longer operate as Diamond Remedies Limited. As such, any business relationship with the company could only be done through Tenderwell Limited which appears to be credit worthy.
