Sup with all these trashy lowlife, low IQ people down south? Yes he is from the North and a christian minority tribe who are neither related in anyway with hausa nor fulani and deserve to serve Nigeria. we the minority have been super marginalized more than any region in Nigeria. mind you, i am a Southern Kd and see most of you southern folks as people with low mentality. the way most of you guys that have never left your village for once reason about Nigeria is very sickening. Nigeria is
more complex than you can ever imaging.

Shut up and face ur masters killing, maiming and raping u. Look at a slave seeing Southerners as people with low mentality...very funny. Face El Rufai and his gang.

Ndolarr:
As much as I tried to defend Buhari, his ethnic bias nature is overwhelming! Must he appoint a notherner to all strategic positions!? He replaced Sarah Alade, a southerner who retired from CBN recently with a Northern 'babe'! Now Barau is to be replaced by another Northerner! Financial 'herdsmen' gradually taking CBN as a 'colony'! Hmmm, there is God o!

Must a square peg be put in a round hole just to justify federal character? What if the appointee is the most qualified person?

Isn't the CBN Governor from the south-south?

Besides, most of you don't even know it's the CBN Governor (a southerner) who recommends the appointment of these deputies to the office of the President.

This country needs a complete overhaul of her educational system. Half-baked graduates everywhere.

There are so many IGNORANT posts on this thread. The President has done the RIGHT THING with this appointment. Please see the list of the members of the Board of Governors of the CBN (which consists of the Governor and the 4 Deputy Governors:

1. Governor: Godwin Ifeanyichukwu Emefiele (South-South)
2. Deputy Governor, Financial System Stability: Okwu Joseph Nnanna (South-East)
3. Deputy Governor, Operations: Adebayo Adelabu (South-West)
4. Deputy Governor, Corporate Services: Suleiman Barau (North West), who retired in December 2017 and REPLACED now with the new nominee, a Christian, who is from Gombe state (North-East)
5. Deputy Governor, Economic Policy: Serah Alade (North Central), who retired April 2017 and REPLACED with a nominee (made in October 2017, but yet to be confirmed by the Senate), Aisha Ahmad (North Central).

So, the President DID NOTHING WRONG by appointing someone from the North East to replace the retired North West Deputy Governor with a person from the North East!

In fact, throughout the 10 years Suleiman Barau was Deputy Governor, the North East had NO DEPUTY GOVERNOR!

Buhari is 100% RIGHT WITH THIS APPOINTMENT!

Nowahala 2019 coming soon

Obj letter working

Another Northern appointment!!

I Don't Know why the author's (Southerners) are making a meal of his religion being mentioned, so what if he is a "Northern Christian from Gombe". We all see ourselves in the North as Northerners irrespective of religion.

Except when you want to kill....

Call a spade a spade my dear! If not for his nepotic antecedents with appointments nobody would have bothered. Come to think of it are all his appointees from Ministers, dead ones inclusive and NIA DG square pegs in square holes?

Exactly what i'm talking about the state of your mentality. The only thing you mofos are good at is insults/abuses and nothing more... I bet you Kd is far more better than your jungle. don't make the media deceive you. come to Kd city and see how we roll. you guys are just some piece of trash... your mentality says it all.

The NORTHERNIZATION of all the POLITICAL POSITIONS in NIGERIA is continuing courtesy of PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI

Buhari packaging all the opportunities in Nigeria for his own North.

It is well. This is not KWARUPTION

Everybody has unofficially become NCAN compliant due to this regimes high level of ethnic bias and nepotism in his appointments! It's a big shame as they forget that power is transient! And I hope that when a Southern President takes over and tows that part the North will accept it in good faith and not stir a storm in a teacup?

Will they allow a "Northern Christian" to be president? Cheap political propaganda. 2019 loading...

Quantity surveyor for that matter. Na wao.

BY Damilola Oyedele in Abuja and Obinna Chima in Lagos

President Muhammadu Buhari has tapped Mr. Edward Lametek Adamu, a Christian from Gombe State, as the new deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to replace Mr. Suleiman Barau who retired last month.

Adamu, who was once the Director in charge of the Strategy Management Department of the CBN, is currently the Director of Human Resources with the Bank, a position he has held since 2016.

THISDAY gathered that the deputy governor nominee has more than 25 years experience working with the central bank, which has seen him serving in almost every aspect of its operations.

However, his nomination would be subject to the approval by the Senate.

Adamu, who is 57 years, hails from Kaltungo Local Government Area in Gombe State.

He holds a Quantity Surveying degree from the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, and is a Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors.

He also holds postgraduate professional certifications in corporate strategy development and execution, performance management, programme & project management and knowledge management.

Adamu is a fellow of the Institute of Credit Administration of Nigeria and has acquired skill-sets in strategic leadership, central banking, finance, human resources, organisational transformation, risk management, budgeting and cost management, construction management, records management, communications and relationship management, coaching and mentoring and procurement through a variety of Wharton School USA, INSEAD France, Chicago Booth & IMD Switzerland courses and practical experience.

He is also a frequent presenter at professional conferences, seminars and symposia, especially in the areas of leadership, human capital management, project management, construction, strategy and risk management.

Adamu is in addition an active member of other professional bodies such as the the Project Management Institute, USA; International Knowledge Management Institute, USA; International Society for Performance Improvement, USA; and the Association of Project Managers, UK.

In 2012, he was appointed Director of the Strategy Management Department of the CBN in recognition of his depth of operational knowledge of the Bank’s mandate and core responsibilities as well as the breadth of CBN’s strategy implementation experience.

In that role, he was said to have demonstrated an ability to quickly identify and proffer realistic and workable solutions to complex and competing demands of the various sections of the Bank.

In addition, the deputy governor nominee was responsible for working with the CBN board in ensuring that the Bank had a clearly articulated strategy that would ensure the delivery of its mandate, organisational alignment and focus on strategy – from development to execution – by integrating strategy-focused concepts, principles, and best practices into the fabric, cadence, and processes of the organisation.

To effectively undertake the responsibility, he worked with Messrs Palladium Consultants in developing the first Strategy Execution Framework in the Bank in 2012.

Also, he was responsible for the organisational transformation programme of the Bank.

As the Director of Strategy, he was also a member of the Monetary Policy Implementation Committee and the Financial Services Regulatory Coordination Committee, as well as an observer at the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meetings.

In 2016, Adamu was appointed Director, Human Resources Department of the Bank to give effect to the human resources transformation programme initiated during his role as Director, Strategy Management.

Until his nomination as deputy governor, he was tasked with developing the human capital assets of the central bank to be more innovative in dealing with current challenges, and becoming quickly adaptive to future changing needs.

Still No Confirmation Process

Despite his nomination as deputy governor-designate, Adamu would most likely face the same fate as other nominees of the president, as hopes that the Senate may soon consider the nominations of four members of the CBN’s MPC were dashed yesterday, when the legislative body doubled down on its position not to consider any nominations from the president not specified in the Constitution.

Senate President Bukola Saraki, speaking at plenary session, said the Senate remains bound by its resolution taken in March 2017.

The MPC was unable to hold its first meeting of this year last Monday, following its inability to form a quorum with eight positions on the 12-member committee vacant.

The meeting is crucial and enables the CBN to carry out one of its primary roles of setting interest rates and formulating monetary policies to ensure price stability and engender growth.

Owing to the inability of the MPC to hold its meeting, the CBN governor Godwin Emefiele, announced on Monday that the monetary policy rate, among other key ratios, decided by the committee at its November meeting, will be retained.

The confirmation process for Buhari’s nominations of Prof. Adeola Festus Adenikinju, Dr. Aliyu Rafindadi Sanusi, Dr. Robert Chikwendu Asogwa and Dr. Asheikh A. Maidugu as members of the MPC has been stalled by the executive-senate impasse over the confirmation of the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu.

Other nominations into top positions at the central bank that were also affected by the Senate’s resolution included the deputy governor-designate of the CBN, Ms. Aisha Ahmad, and five non-executive directors for the Bank.

Magu has been retained in an acting capacity despite his rejection twice by the Senate, which declined to confirm him as the substantive head of the anti-graft agency.

The impasse was made worse by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo’s comment that the position of the EFCC chairman does not require the confirmation of the Senate, as it was not specified in the constitution, compelling the Senate to state that it will seek legal interpretation of his remark.

Given its stance, the Senate resolved to suspend the confirmation process for all nominees of the president, arguing that the executive cannot choose what laws to obey and what laws not to obey.

Saraki’s statement wednesday confirmed recent reports by THISDAY that the upper legislative chamber was not willing to budge on its resolution on the matter.

The Senate President did not specifically refer to the MPC, but his comment was made in reaction to a point of order raised by Senator Mao Ohuabunwa regarding nominations into the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

Ohuabunwa had observed that while the board of the commission had been inaugurated and was functional, about three states out of the nine oil-producing states were not represented on the board.

Their nominations were affected by the Senate’s resolution.

The senator, however, appealed that the outstanding NDDC nominees be exempted from the resolution, as the process for their confirmation was already ongoing before the resolution was passed to suspend the confirmation process.

“I am bringing this before you to consider and allow the committee to complete the screening, as these two or three states are left unattended to. Things are moving on, the commission is working and that is why I have come to you this morning to exempt NNDC from that resolution,” Ohuabunwa said.

Saraki, however, ruled that the appeal could only be considered if the process had already begun before the resolution was taken.

“I am happy that you made reference to the fact that we all here at the Senate passed a resolution on this matter. The issue you just raised, we will look at it to see if the exercise started before the resolution.

“I know this resolution we took it in March, I remember at the end of March last year. So the secretariat should check the records.

“If it (confirmation process) had started before (the resolution), we will look into it, but if it had started after, except that resolution is rescinded we are all bound by that resolution,” Saraki said.

As if he cares for the Christians...
Scrotum like him.

I HATE NIGEIRA!!!

All that struck me is that he's a quantity surveyor.
His qualifications are not bad, but you could find thousands of Nigerians, or at worst hundreds, with better qualifications.

why on earth should i have a B.sc in economics and a masters in finance yet i am teaching while a quantity surveyor has held a position in the CBN for twenty plus years. Nigeria and putting square pegs in round holes. Shithole country.

He's a Quantity Surveyor?

@senatordave1 Do you have a sense of Federal Character only per appointment? Do you also think religion should be an aspect of Federal Character?

This man is not supposed to be in CBN in the first place considering his educational background.
Quota system is a clog in the wheel of our progress.
There r millions of Nigerians with better qualification to work in the apex bank, but they will never be allowed to get in.
We cannot continue like this in this country at all.

but teaching no bad na

If you check his qualifications, he has other administrative/finance related degrees and certificates. I'm also a Quantity surveyor and I can tell you I'm tending towards that direction
