Furthermore, the circular indicated that the company would be conducting a review of its accounting records over the next 60 days to ensure that all outstanding balances are settled.

We will then promptly contact you to confirm the amount owed and discuss a suitable payment schedule,” the circular explained.

However, the circular expressed deep regret for any inconvenience caused by this closure but emphasized that it is a necessary step for the long-term growth and sustainability of the organisation.
