PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has asked the Senate to confirm the appointment of five persons as board of directors of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Tinubu’s request was contained in a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary on Tuesday.
He said the 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 nominees are: Robert O. Agbide, Ado Yakubu Wanga, Murtala Sagaley, Urom Eke, and Olayinka Aliyu.
Tinubu urged the Red Chamber to approve his request expeditiously.
The Senate president thereafter referred the president’s request to the Senate Committe on Banking, Finance, and other Financial Institutions for further legislative action.
The committee was given one week to act on the request.
