The Director firmly disputes the right of Nusa BusinessGroup to retain its lease on the property because it was granted to the ESPG in 1985 in error, andthe title has been since 1957 granted to the District Administration of ESP; because all theequipment on the site remains the property of the Fisheries Department; because the Provincialand National Fisheries Office still operates from the site; the business community depends on theFisheries Department and will no longer have easy access to it is the lease if granted; and “TheEast Sepik Province and the Rural Community are at a great loss due to the signed joint venturebusiness agreement with an investor which is now being discarded out the window.” (Signed)Daniel P.

This office recommends that, since Mr. Nick Artekain and his Nusa Business Group, Inc., hasshown interest to go-ahead with the fish making plan, necessary action should be takenimmediately for the granting of the lease at this stage. “An Interoffice Memo in the Division of Fisheries and Marine Resources written by JoachimNianguma, Provincial Advisor, Fisheries, and dated 9.3.01, notes the inspection’s list ofequipment installed at the site Section E Allotment 3, and adds, “I strongly estimate the totalvalue of all infrastructures and equipments on and inside the allotment to be over K100,000.”Following this is a letter from Joachim Nianguma to Nick Artekian, dated (15.11.2000?) on EastSepik Provincial Administration letterhead stating:ADVISE ON ESPGS ENDORSEMENT TO SEPIK SEA PRODUCTS LTS TO UTILISE FISHMARKETING FACILITY AT SECTION E ALLOTMENT 3 WEAK TOWNThis letter serves as notice to Nusa Business Group that the East Sepik Provincial Government(PEC) has endorsed a fishing proposal by Sepik Sea products Ltd to engage in fishing operationsin East Sepik in partnership with the Provincial Government. As a matter of courtesy, that in theevent towards eventual facilitation and implementation to the project (sic), the ESPG through itsadministration will request your group’s relocation to (sic) the facility. This will then allowcomplete overhaul and renovations to the fish marketing facility by the investment proposal.Provided for your noting and further cooperations (sic).(Signed) Joachim Nianguma, Provincial Advisor, FisheriesFinally, 4 June 2001, a letter from Nick Artekain to the Managing Director of the NationalFisheries Authority read as follows:Dear Director,Consideration of License Application to Sepik Sea Products LtdThis letter serves to bring to your attention that Nusa Business Inc. a wholly national ownedcompany, was established in 1993 for the purpose of giving an opportunity to the local people toharvest their fish resources.This came about when WAMA fisheries managed by East Sepik Development Corporation(ESDECO) wound up operations as a result of mismanagement.After carefully studying business proposals and objectives submitted by Nusa Business Group,approval was granted by the Provincial Government through its Division of Fisheries to operateout of a space from one of its warehouses previously used by Wama fisheries.Since then Nusa Business Group Inc. has been actively involved in encouraging local fishermento engage in the fishing industry.215
