Aishah Ahmad and Edward Lametek Adamu were today confirmed as deputy governors of Central Bank of Nigeria by the Senate. Both persons were nominated by President Buhari in October 2017 and February 2018 respectively.
Their confirmations were however placed on hold by the Senate following a faceoff with the presidency.
Speaking shortly after the confirmation, Senate president Bukola Saraki said;
“I would like to thank the Committee on Banking and Finance and all our colleagues for this action today. We promised the country last week that within a week we would carry out this confirmation and we have done this.”
Prof. Adeola Adenikinju, Dr Aliyu Sanusi and Dr Robert Asogwa were also confirmed as members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the CBN.
