This is a huge mistake. Dont trust Vulcan Capital. They will take your money then bankrupt the corporation and create a new one. They do not know how to build power plants to run...
Sokoto Government,
Before you proceed with Vulcan Capital do some reference checks on the employees who are providing services for them. On Vulcan Capitals last contract they convinced the parole board to let one of their employees out of jail to complete a contract. Since then the employee was busted for trafficing cocaine and now is in jail. Vulcan Capital is known for hiring unprofessional or under educated employees. Another example is when they had a contract for a power plant project in Iraq. Their project manager that was hired, took over a year to find one simple fault, this costed the contract and later Vulcan Capital was sued and lost over it. Vulcan Capital, Ford Graham are not to be trusted they are millions of dollars in debt. Watch my words. your contract will not be completed there will be some issue that arises, and they will blame you for it. They love going to court but most of the time they lose. If you can also be of assistance tell Vulcan Capital to pay their employees back wages that are owed. They only care about themselves.
To whom it may concern, please be advised that Ford Graham and Kevin Davis are involved in a lawsuit for non-performance of a similar contract in the United States. The BGT Group, Inc. provided Vulcan Capital with over $6 Million of money and equipment to build three components of a power plant. The contract was never completed by Vulcan, The BGT Group, Inc. was forced to file a lawsuit, and contact the FBI to pursue a criminal investigation. Ultimately, The BGT Group, Inc. manufactured the plants on their own; however, they are still involved in the lawsuit against the Vulcan entities (Ford Graham and Kevin Davis) and in communication with the FBI regarding this matter. Over the years, there are several other actions against various Vulcan entities of a similar nature. It would seem that, Vulcan Capital Energy is a new company created by Ford Graham and Kevin Davis to distance themselves from various (negative) past activities. Public records will show the various lawsuits against the numerous Vulcan entities. Moreover, we have come to understand that Ford Graham, Kevin Davis, and Vulcan Capital Energy are in no way associated with Paul Allen and his respective companies. The Sokoto State Government may want to accomplish a background check prior to giving these people any monies.
