In a significant development, the Nigerian Senate has officially confirmed the appointment of Dr. Olayemi Cardoso as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
This confirmation comes after a rigorous screening process, during which Dr. Cardoso’s qualifications and suitability for the role were thoroughly assessed.
Introduction of CBN Deputy Governors
Alongside Dr. Cardoso’s confirmation, the Senate also introduced and endorsed the appointments of four individuals for the positions of Deputy Governors at the CBN.
These deputy governors will play crucial roles in steering the affairs of the apex bank for the next five years.
The appointed deputy governors are Emem Nnana Usoro, Muhammad Sani Abdullahi Dattijo, Philip Ikeazor, and Dr. Bala M. Bello.
Transition from Acting CBN Governor to Full Confirmation
Prior to this confirmation, Dr. Olayemi Cardoso had assumed the role of CBN Governor in an acting capacity.
His tenure in this interim role was marked by his dedication and leadership in managing the central bank’s responsibilities. Now, with the Senate’s confirmation, he will continue to lead the CBN with a full mandate and authority.
Additional Ministerial Nominees Scheduled for Screening
In addition to the confirmation of Dr. Cardoso and the deputy governors, the Senate has scheduled the screening of two additional ministerial nominees.
These nominations were made by President Bola Tinubu during a period when the National Assembly was on break.
The two nominees, Dr. Jamila Ibrahim and Ayodele Olawande, have been designated for the positions of Minister of Youths and Minister of State for Youths, respectively.
