Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Reuben Abati, revealed this in a statement made available to us.
the most senior Deputy Governor of the CBN, Dr Sarah Alade, has been named as the Acting CBN Governor.
"Sanusi’s tenure has been characterised by “various acts of financial recklessness and misconduct which are inconsistent with the administration’s vision of a Central Bank propelled by the core values of focused economic management, prudence, transparency and financial discipline,” the statement revealed.
President
Goodluck Jonathan has appointed the managing director
of Zenith Bank, Godwin Emefiele as the new governor of Central Bank.
We gathered that Mr. President submitted Mr.
Emefiele’s name to the Senate for confirmation Thursday hours after he
announced the suspension of Sanusi Lamido as the CBN governor.
The CBN’s deputy
governor, Sarah Alade, was named early Thursday as acting governor of the bank.
Mr. Jonathan said if confirmed by the senate, Mr. Emefiele will take over
fully as the substantive governor in place of Mr. Sanusi whose tenure ends in
June 2014.
Mr. President also nominated Adelabu Adebayo as the deputy governor
of the bank. Mr. Adebayo is currently an executive director at First Bank.He will
succeed Tunde Lemo who retired as Deputy Governor of the regulatory bank in
late 2013.
