"FG earns Oil Revenue Dollars but spends in Naira. So it hands the dollars it earns to its Banker- CBN which then gives FG Naira for BUDGETS"
"The $30 Billion is CBN's Dollar Reserves and should FG ever ask for any part of it again, it will result in double dipping &PRINTING MONEY"
"When FG earns Oil Revenue Dollars it MAY NOT immediately hand over EVERYTHING to CBN to give FG Naira value. Such Balance is SAVINGS-ECA"
