The new cbn governor
You're referring to the new Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele!
Godwin Emefiele was appointed as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on June 3, 2014, by President Goodluck Jonathan. He took over from Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who was removed from office.
Emefiele is a Nigerian economist and banker with over 30 years of experience in the banking industry. Prior to his appointment as CBN Governor, he was the Group Managing Director of Zenith Bank Plc, one of the largest banks in Nigeria.
During his tenure as CBN Governor, Emefiele has implemented several policies aimed at stabilizing the Nigerian economy, including the introduction of the Anchor Borrowers' Programme, which aims to support small-scale farmers and improve agricultural productivity. He has also implemented policies to strengthen the naira, Nigeria's currency, and to reduce inflation.
Emefiele's tenure as CBN Governor has not been without controversy, however. He has faced criticism for his handling of the economy, particularly with regards to the country's high inflation rate and the devaluation of the naira. Some have also accused him of being too close to the government and of using his position to benefit his friends and allies.
Despite these challenges, Emefiele remains a key figure in Nigeria's economic landscape, and his policies and decisions continue to have a significant impact on the country's economy.
