Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, has nominated Olayemi Cardoso, a former banker and stockbroker, as the new Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Cardoso, known for his previous roles as Citibank chairman and Legacy commissioner for budget and economic planning, brings a wealth of experience to this vital position.
President Tinubu has also nominated four Deputy Governors for the CBN, pending Senate confirmation. These appointments are critical for the stability and growth of Nigeria’s economy.
Cardoso’s nomination raises questions about the CBN’s balance sheet, intervention loans, and the bank’s independence. Experts suggest that Cardoso’s extensive background in banking and economics positions him well to address these concerns and lead the CBN effectively.
