Emefiele still in office, says CBN | Nairalaw

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has dismissed claims that the
CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele has been sacked.

Responding to enquiries from The Nation on Monday, the Director
Corporate Communications of the CBN Mr. Isaac Okorafor told The
Nation that “the governor is in his office working. I don’t know
what you’re talking about.”

Another official of the CBN also told The Nation Correspondent
that “there is nothing like that, the governor is here, his tenure
expires in June.

“In fact he has functions to attend to tomorrow, one of which is
to meet with stakeholders in the cotton value chain on Tuesday
March 5, 2019.”

An online medium had reported on Monday afternoon that the CBN
governor has been sacked by the presidency and given two weeks to
clear his table and “handover to an unnamed successor.“
