Nigerian Senate Confirms Yemi Cardoso as CBN Governor: A New Era
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a momentous decision, the Nigerian Senate has given its nod to Yemi Cardoso as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, alongside four deputy governors. This significant development follows a rigorous screening process by the upper legislative body.

The newly confirmed deputy governors include Emem Nnana Usoro, Muhammad Sani Abdullahi Dattijo, Philip Ikeazor, and Bala Bello, who were all subjected to intense questioning regarding economic and policy matters during the confirmation process.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio officially announced, “The nomination of Olayemi Cardoso is hereby confirmed as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).”

During the scrutinizing session, Cardoso pledged a commitment to compliance and emphasized that under his leadership, the CBN would maintain a non-partisan stance. He stated, “I believe that the Central Bank under our watch will have no choice but to embrace a culture of compliance. We will not wait for oversight to come and tell us what to do. We will ensure that by the time the system is passing through us, we catch it and we deal with it.” Cardoso made it clear that there would be zero tolerance for compliance violations, emphasizing a cultural shift and mindset change within the institution.

Cardoso’s confirmation comes in the wake of President Bola Tinubu’s earlier nomination of him as the acting CBN governor, along with four deputy governors. Cardoso assumed office recently, succeeding the former acting CBN governor, Folashodun Shonubi.

These appointments follow the suspension and subsequent resignation of Godwin Emefiele, who had been at the helm of the apex bank since 2014. Emefiele’s tenure was marked by controversy, notably the naira redesign policy. Furthermore, he faces legal proceedings related to an alleged N6.9 billion fraud, a situation that casts a shadow of uncertainty over his future.

The stage is set for a new era in Nigeria’s central banking landscape, with Yemi Cardoso now leading the CBN and promising a fresh approach to governance and compliance. Meanwhile, the fate of his predecessor, Godwin Emefiele, remains uncertain amid ongoing legal battles.
