Abuja, May 25, 2022

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says online media reports purporting the sacking of the bank’s governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, are untrue.

Head of Corporate Communications at the CBN, Osita Nwanisiobi, made the rebuttal on Wednesday in Abuja when he spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Emefiele is currently out of the country on official assignment.

NAN reports that Emefiele has been under public scrutiny since he declared interest to run for the presidency at the oncoming 2023 general elections.
