PRESIDENT of the Senate Godswill Akpabio, on Tuesday read on the floor a letter from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, asking the Red Chamber to confirm the appointment of five persons as directors of the Board of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Tinubu said his request was in compliance with the provision of section 6(1a) of the section 10(1)(2) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) establishment Act 2007.
The letter read by Senator Akpabio read in part:
“ I am pleased to present for confirmation by the Senate the appointments of the under-listed five persons as directors of the board of the CBN: Robert O. Agbide, Ado Yakubu Wanga, Murtala Sagaley, Urom Eke, and Olayinka Aliyu.”
Akpabio then referred the request to the Committee on Banking, Finance, and other Financial Institutions under the leadership of Senator Tokunbo Abiru for further legislative action. The committee was given one week to act on the request.
