PQ; Kure, Falilat and Adakuagreed to form and finance an estate company to be named KFA Limited. The company would have four other members. The three were given various procurement assignments. Kure, who was to buy a mini-estate for the proposed company, sold his estate in Ikeja to it at a profit of N10 million. Falilat bought a Cinema Hall on Lagos Island for the proposed company and got a personal discount of N2 million from the transaction due to his exceedingly great negotiation skills. After the incorporation of KFA Limited, Adaku learnt of the outcomes of the two transactions, and has approached you for advice.
