President Tinubu Nominates Dr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso as Central Bank Governor, Unveils Four Deputy Governors
In a move that underscores a vision for a reinvigorated economic landscape, President Bola Tinubu has set forth nominations that promise a transformative era for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Dr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso, a seasoned expert in financial affairs, emerges as the President’s choice to lead the helm of the CBN.
President Bola Tinubu, recognizing the pivotal role of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in steering the nation’s financial course, has embarked on a strategic move that stands to reshape the economic future of Nigeria.
In a decision resonating with the essence of human progress and growth, Dr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso has received the President’s imprimatur to serve as the new Governor of the CBN.
The President’s directive finds its roots in the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007, a cornerstone legislation that confers upon the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria the solemn authority to appoint the Governor and four Deputy Governors for the CBN.
This appointment, however, remains subject to the August confirmation by the Nigerian Senate, underscoring the democratic ethos that underpins this significant decision.
Dr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso, known for his profound understanding of financial intricacies and his unwavering commitment to economic progress, brings a wealth of experience to this new role.
With a term of five years initially, his appointment heralds a period of anticipation and possibility for Nigeria’s financial landscape.
President Tinubu’s vision for a revitalized economic terrain extends beyond the nomination of Dr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso.
In an affirmation of his dedication to transformative change, the President has nominated four Deputy Governors who promise to fortify the CBN’s leadership in the years to come.
Pending confirmation by the Nigerian Senate, these appointees are set to embark on a journey of service and dedication to the nation.
The four nominees are:
- Mrs. Emem Nnana Usoro
- Mr. Muhammad Sani Abdullahi Dattijo
- Mr. Philip Ikeazor
- Dr. Bala M. Bello
In President Bola Tinubu’s visionary “Renewed Hope” agenda, these appointments are imbued with a profound sense of purpose.
The President anticipates that the newly-nominated leaders will spearhead critical reforms at the CBN, instilling confidence not only among Nigerians but also among international partners.
This, in turn, will pave the way for the restructuring of the Nigerian economy towards a sustainable path of growth and prosperity that touches every facet of society.
Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), affirmed the significance of these nominations, stating:
“This marks a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s economic journey. President Tinubu’s selections reflect his unwavering commitment to ushering in an era of financial prosperity and stability for all.”
