Which Derivatives? Another ticking the box deception by Oscar and his co-travellers. The cash and carry market that is easily understood is not doing well. Is it the complex Derivatives that will give the market succor? All part of the wasteful agenda. What is the impact of the Exchange Traded Products introduced by this same Oscar and his Team? Only ONE Trade was executed in over two hours of trading today March 21 all because of lack of understanding and interest. We will continue to provide facts to the market so you know the deception going on through NGX. Over N1billion had been wasted on this Derivative Project yet no tangible impact. NGX tell investors and issuers another story. We pity CFA Team. The programme will turn out to be a waste of effort and resources. The NGX foundation is too weak to accommodate these technical instruments Oscar is hoisting on it – SPACS. ETP, Derivatives etc. Oscar and his plunderers must do the proper thing by refunding the N754million they stole in 2021 and all those 29 hardworking staff sacked on Feb 25 must be well compensated with a human face then we can begin to discuss on ceasefire. Otherwise, expect more facts from the team
