Another major revelation in the various complaints of investors is that of attitude of regulators and market operators to the problem of unclaimed dividends. Severally, we have received complaints from investors, who have invested for years and they have never received dividend.

The National Boundary Commission, NBC, has been urged to expedite action at resolving unresolved lingering inter- and intra-boundary matters in order to establish perpetual peace and mutual understanding in the affected areas.
