Alpha-Beta denies allegations of nepotism, underpayment in Sahara Reporters article

Alpha-Beta Consulting LLP has condemned a June 11 article by Sahara Reporters titled “Tinubu-Linked Alpha Beta Consulting Pays N400,000 Gratuity After 20 Years Of Service, Hands Millions, Top Contract Jobs To GMD Loyalists.”

In a statement signed by the firm’s Head of Human Capital Management, Mrs. Anjolaoluwa Ige, the report was described as “malicious, unfounded, and grossly misleading.”

The company dismissed the allegations as a “coordinated attempt to distort facts” and inflict reputational damage. “This is not a whistleblower account. It is a calculated and deliberate effort to defame individuals,” the statement read, calling the claims a “serious infringement” on its legal rights.

Alpha-Beta rejected all accusations of nepotism, underpayment of gratuity, and favoritism in contract awards, insisting that its staff exit procedures and benefits align with internal policy, the Nigerian Labour Act, and international best practices. The firm reiterated its “zero-tolerance stance” on abuse, harassment, or unethical behavior, adding that legitimate concerns raised internally are addressed confidentially.

Management confirmed that consultations with legal counsel are underway. “We reserve the right to pursue all appropriate legal remedies—both civil and criminal—against the perpetrators,” the statement warned.

Alpha-Beta urged clients, partners, and the public to disregard the publication and rely only on verified communications from the firm.

“This organization is built on principles of integrity, accountability, and excellence,” Mrs. Ige said. “We remain steadfast in upholding these values and will not be derailed by baseless attacks.”
