CBN Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has been named as Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. According to the magazine;

"A veteran of an often corrupt banking industry, Sanusi, 49, took up his position at the height of the financial crisis in June 2009 and immediately turned on his former peers. He took over nine banks, sacked the chief executives of eight of them, ordered a series of mergers and named their biggest debtors. He was, he said, cleaning up not just banking but all Nigeria.

The full list include other influential people likeGerman Chancellor  Angella Merkel, U.S Vice President Joe Biden, Oprah Winfrey, The Obamas, Hillary Clinton, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Lionell Messi, etc.
