I will name those behind Nigeria's stock exchange crisis if appointed by President Buhari to a financial consultant without pay - Ifeanyi Uba

The Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, on Tuesday, followed up his claims to a magic wand that would firm the Naira to an exchange rate of N200=$1 within 30 days ,with fresh claims that he knew those behind the current foreign exchange crisis facing the nation and was ready to name them publicly.

He told journalists, in Abuja, that all he wanted from President Muhammadu Buhari , to achieve the goal, was to be appointed a consultant on Financial Stability, without pay.

“Since my appearance and statement on Sunday night on Channels TV, Dollar has crashed from N400 to $1 to N370 to $1. Is this not enough evidence that this freefall of the Naira is artificial and could be better managed, with honesty and ingenuity
