The senate has confirmed five
nominees of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Those confirmed are Aisha Ahmad
and Edward Lametek as deputy governors and Adeola Adenikinju, Aliyu Sanusi and
Robert Asogwa.
The nominees were confirmed after
Rafiu Ibrahim, chairman senate committee on banking, insurance and financial
institutions, presented a report at the red chamber on Thursday.
Asheikh Maidudgu was the only
nominee rejected by the lawmakers.
The upper legislative chamber had
initially refused to confirm the nominees, stalling the monetary policy
committee (MPC) meeting of the apex bank in January and March.
The lawmakers had said the only
condition to confirm nominees of President Muhammadu Buhari is for the federal
government to sack Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) in line with their recommendation.
