Billionaire and business mogul, Ifeanyi Ubah has debunked the widespread tales that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on Sunday, may 10,2015 which resulted in the death of one of his aides. The amiable CEO of Capital oil who is also the Founder of Ambassador of Nigeria (TAN) said the rumour is not only false but an attempt to rubbish his image. In a statement released by his Media aides on Monday, May 11, 2015 he denied the report.

:
“Just early this morning, news of an assassination attempt on the life of the founder of Transformation Ambassador of Nigeria (TAN) Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi was all over social media and we have reason to debunk this as it is not true but a figment of the imagination of mischief makers. They even reported that one of his aides was killed in the assassination attempt.

Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah is hale and hearty. He was in Taraba just yesterday as he went to watch his football club, Ifeanyi Ubah FC. He is in high spirit and enjoying himself. He was even interviewed by the AIT crew on ground at the stadium.

The story is not true and should be disregarded. I spoke with him just now and he has asked me to make these clarifications. Thank you”

 

 

 

According to a report by Sun News, billionaire business man, politician and founder/CEO of Transformation Am­bassadors of Nigeria (TAN), Ifeanyi Ubah, es­caped suspected assassins recently. According to reports, the chairman of Capital Oil Lim­ited, was supposed to go inspect one of his lands situated in an area after Apo mechanic village in Abuja but changed his mind last minute and instead asked his TAN directors to go at the last minute.

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal

 

To provide succour to Nigerians, Dangote recently reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N970 to N899.50 at its Refinery loading gantry and provided generous credit terms to marketers.

 

 

“To ensure that this price reduction gets to the end consumer, we have signed a partnership with MRS to sell petrol from its retail outlets nationwide at N935 per litre” he added. This price has already commenced in Lagos, and it will be offered nationwide from Monday.

 

 

In his statement, he called on other oil marketers such as the NNPC Retail and all other marketers, “to work with us to ensure that Nigerians enjoy high-quality petrol at discounted prices.”

 

 

According to him, “The Dangote Refinery is for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians. We will therefore continue to work with various value chain players to deliver high quality petrol at cheaper prices. Our aim is for all Nigerians to have ready access to high quality petroleum products that are good for their vehicles, good for their health, and good for their pockets.

 

 

Recall that in September, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) under the leadership of Mr. President approved the sale of crude to local refineries in Naira and corresponding purchase of petroleum products in Naira. The move, which commenced on October 1, led to reduced pressure on the dollar and ensured the stability of the local currency.

 

 

Dangote thanked Nigerians for their unwavering support and the government for creating an enabling environment for the domestic refining industry.
