Chief Jimoh Ibrahim, business mogul and the owner of NICON Insurance Limited and Nigeria Reinsurance Corporation, Nigeria Re., has described his debt servicing ratio as the lowest among strong business moguls in the country.
He said his current debt servicing ratio is put at nine percent, while that of Dangote is 13 percent.
In a statement made available to newsmen on Friday, the First Doctoral candidate of the University of Cambridge Business Management Science explained that the debt servicing ratio of Nigeria stands at 98 percent, while USA and UK’s stand at 105 percent and 85 percent respectively.
He, therefore, challenged the Asset Management Corporation Of Nigeria (AMCON), to name who is a business man with a first-class score.
According to the 54-year-old billonaire, the Google rating of his net asset was over one billion dollars, adding that the data showed excellent asset specificity.
He said: “I collateralised a loan of N26 billion with £130.7 million pound sterling (at 5% interest rate now £245m or N178 billion). So, if you buy my loan, where is my cash collateral is the question.”
Ibrahim described AMCON as a lawless organisation which the World Bank and IMF had condemned.
“AMCON should not drag Federal Government’s economic policy into self-interest and I am sure that President Buhari will not support economic injustice because ‘an unjust order is an invitation to anarchy.” he said.
