ABU is not willing to transfer funding by account transfer or warrant (as required by the contract) but instead, wants our PI to bring Nigerian cash back with him to the US. Have any of you had similar experiences with ABU? If so, how did you resolve this? Your input is appreciated. Thanks, Brenda Brenda R.
