[NCUC-EC] Refunds

[Sonigitu Ekpe]

Milton vI did inform you to make transfers to my dollars account and you
accepted. The mails are there to speak for themselves. You did not need to
convert because I informed you about the devaluation. Today 1 USD is 335
NGN official rate and in the parallel market it is NGN 395.

I am bill to attend another meeting I need to have dollars in my master
card, were do I source it from?

@Milton I shall shortly forward you the mail you responded when I made the
request.
