''I Can Bring The US Dollar To N200 In One Month'' - Business Mogul, Ifeanyi Ubah

As the nation's currency exchanges at N400 to the US dollar on Sunday, Billionaire business mogul has said that if the Buhari-led federal government consults him, he could restore the nation's currency to an exchange rate of N200 to one US Dollar within one month.

Speak­ing on a Channels Television poli­tics programme on Sunday, billionaire businessman and the Chairman of Capital Oil and Gas Services Ltd., Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, has advised the Federal Government to consult some Nigerians who can halt the free fall of the Naira which is affecting the na­tion’s economy.The Nai­ra currently exchanges at N400 to the US dollar.

The Publisher of The Authority newspapers, said that if the President Buhari-le federal gov­ernment consults him, he could re­store the nation’s currency to an ex­change rate of N200 to one US Dollar within one month, thereby arresting the slide in the Naira which is virtu­ally crippling the economy.

The Chairman of Ifeanyi Ubah Football Club, however did not say how he was going to bring the Naira down to an exchange rate of 200 per dol­lar, but said the government could seize everything he owns if he failed to do this within one month, if given the mandate.

Chief Ubah also affirmed that he was not involved in any way what­soever in the $2.3 billion Dasuki­gate arms deal that involved the for­mer National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki, adding that he was not in­volved in the politics of contracts and has never done any government con­tracts, whether at the Federal, state or local government levels.

"I am highly misunderstood, sometimes controversial. But I have never done any government contracts. I did not collect any money from Gov­ernment; I do not have an oil block – and I have not asked for one.

"I did not know Dasuki. TAN nev­er received money from Dasuki or the People’s Democratic Party. We did what we did in the interest of the na­tion and for posterity.

"I’m a politician with a mind-set of making life worth living for the people, when issues seem to be getting out of hand. So TAN has no hand in whatever that has to do with the arms deal fund."

He said following the controver­sies trailing the #Dasukigate, it has be­come necessary for him to extricate himself from allegations that himself and the non-governmental organisa­tion, Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), were in anyway in­volved in the sharing of the arms deal money.

Faculty Of Agric. Trade Fair: OAU Students Grumble Over Prices Of Farm Products

Students of Obafemi Awolowo University grumbled over the price tagged on farm products at the Faculty of Agriculture Trade fair which held on Tuesday, February 16. Meanwhile, before the commencement of the programme some students were gallivanting around the faculty expressing their optimism in the arrival of a cheap farm product. Adenike Grace, a part two language arts student told OAU Peeps News Agency that; “I hope to get cheap food stuff here as they had earlier told me”. In a similar reaction, a part IV Agricultural student, Aginam Abraham confirmed that the farm products are expected to be cheap.

However, the price tagged at the farm product was contrary to the students’ expectation; it includes: Palm oil N200, Garri N100, Rice N270, Beans N350, Pork N400/kg, Beef N1000/kg. The heart of the programme, the committee for Trade fair disclosed to the students on queue that there is no discount on the farm product, though; it was fair compare to what they could get in the market.

In contrary to the students’ expectation, some students left the arena without purchasing anything while some left with a bag filled with foods stuff. A student who refused to disclose her identity to us as she prefers anonymity said “I could not purchase anything because the price is almost the same with what I purchased in the market and I do not budget for something of that price”.

However, the event was fun-filled as students took selfies and filled their bags with farm products as long as they could afford them.
