Gumel linked the decision to the president’s intention to boost the country’s economy and improve the CBN’s image. After what Godwin Emefiele did to Nigerians with the naira scarcity, will the new CBN leadership ease the suffering or chastise Nigerians with scorpions?
Sen. Abdullahi Gumel, Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), has said the appointment of a new management team for the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, is to rejig the bank and make it alive to its responsibilities.
Gumel said this in Abuja on Wednesday.
He said the appointment of the team by President Bola Tinubu was part of efforts to rescue the Nigerian economy from its challenges.
“The CBN’s image was badly battered, so this team that has come on board is a rescue team.

“They have come to rescue the image of the CBN. In fact, it is not only Nigerians who are waiting for the CBN’s new management to be up and running but the ECOWAS sub-region and the African Union(AU).
“They are waiting for Nigeria to get back the economy so that everybody will feel secure and happy,” he said.
Gumel lauded the Senate for confirming the appointment of Olayemi Cardoso as the CBN Governor and his team on the first day of its plenary after recess.
“The lawmakers told the CBN governor and the deputy governors the feelings of Nigerians and what they talked to the team about is reflective of what Nigerians feel about the CBN,” he said.
