CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele
CBN Gov Emefiele resumes duty after annual vacation abroad
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele on Monday, resumed duty after his annual vacation abroad.
CBN Director of Corporate Communications, Osita Nwanisobi made this known in a statement.
“The apex bank governor resumed with renewed vigour to perform his duty ahead of the first Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the year scheduled for January 23 to 24, 2023,” the statement read.
“Mr. Emefiele remains committed to performing the task before him in line with his oath of office and the policy direction of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
“The governor resumed with renewed vigour to perform his duty ahead of the first monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting of the year scheduled for January 23 to 24, 2023,” the statement reads.
“While thanking the public for keeping faith with the bank, we urge Nigerians to continue to support the policies of the bank aimed at ensuring a stable financial system and the Nigerian economy in general.”
Emefiele has been the subject a recent investigation by the Department of State Services (DSS) which approached a federal high court in Abuja seeking a warrant to arrest him over alleged terrorism financing.
The court, however, declined the application on the grounds that the secret police did not provide any concrete evidence to substantiate its claims that the governor was involved in terrorism financing and economic crimes.
A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) high court sitting in Maitama later issued an order restraining the DSS from arresting Emefiele.
