Bola Tinubu’s incoming administration has received advice on how to choose the next Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
Socio-political activist Deji Adeyanju recommended that the new Tinubu administration name a renowned economist as the CBN governor.
The next CBN governor, according to Adeyanju, should have previous experience working with financial organisations like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
Adeyanju urged Tinubu’s administration to stop selecting bankers to serve as CBN governors in a tweet.
According to Adeyanju: “FG must stop appointing bankers as CBN Gov. They know nothing about the economy.
“These are just mere marketers. An economist of repute with experience of working with world financial institutions and organs like IMF, World Bank, etc, should be the next CBN Gov.”
Emefiele was appointed on June 4, 2014 and his second tenure is expected to end in 2024.
During the electioneering period, CBN had brought up a monetary policy that affected Nigerians and almost scuttled Tinubu’s victory.
