An investigative report on ex-CBN Gov Emefiele’s tenure will show how the apex bank presently stinks , says the Nigerian Government, as it gets set to expose what transpired at the apex bank during Emefiele’s tenure.
Sen George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), stated this yesterday, during a briefing on the programme for the 63rd Independence Day anniversary of the country.
Akume who is the chairman of the anniversary organising committee, said: “We have a new team at the CBN and a special investigator has been in the CBN for sometimes now and his result will soon be released and Nigerians will know what really went wrong and what brought us to where we are today.
“Most of these problems confronting us are because of bad governance. The present government has confronted and is confronting these challenges. When President Bola Tinubu came on board, he made a very sound decision at the CBN. That singular act led to the massive improvement in the capital market, as experts have told us, it is something that never happened in the past 15 years.”
The State Online reports that Tinubu, on July 28, appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN), Mr. Jim Obazee, as the special investigator for the CBN.
- The President directed the investigator to submit weekly reports to his office to update him on the progress of the probe.
