- Their full Names and designations
By Abiola Olawale
Reports emerged on Friday that no fewer than 200 officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria have been reportedly sacked.
The 200 officials were said to have included directors, deputy directors, assistant directors, principal managers, senior managers and lower-ranking staff.
A confidential source who spoke with the press said 14 directors were among the 200 staff reportedly sacked.
The New Diplomat reports that the CBN under the leadership of Olayemi Cardoso has been witnessing massive pruning and reforms aimed at shaping monetary policies positively.
In March, about 50 staff were allegedly sacked. Those sacked cut across 29 departments in the apex bank and this brought the number of those sacked to a total of 117 as of March.
While the reason for the mass retrenchment is still unclear, it comes amidst reports that the Cardoso-led CBN is reportedly battle-ready to fire all staff who had strong working ties and dealings with the embattled erstwhile CBN governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele.
It would be recalled also that the development came after the CBN had reportedly relocated about 150 staff of the Banking Supervision Department (BSD), which is one of the 29 departments of the bank, to Lagos.
The move had generated mixed reactions across the country, with many alleging that it was an attempt to dislodge staff who are northerners from the institution.
