Nigerian President Finally Nominates Sanusi As Central Bank Governor by nduchucks: 8:01pm On Jun 01, 2009
June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Nigerian President Umaru Yar’Adua nominated Lamido Sanusi to replace Chukwuma Soludo, whose term expires on June 3 as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, presidential spokesman Olusegun Adeniyi said in an e-mailed statement from the capital, Abuja, today.

Sanusi is the current chief executive officer of First Bank of Nigeria Plc, the country’s biggest lender by market value.

During his time in office, Soludo oversaw a program to raise the capital base of Nigerian banks, pruning their number to 25 from more than 80 through mergers and acquisitions. In the period, Nigeria’s foreign reserves grew threefold to more than $60 billion through savings on oil earnings, the country’s main export.

I think the greatest gesture Yar'adua can do to the Nation is to step down and encourage Sanusi to run in 2011

The man seems very civilised . . . . . not the ridiculous occupant at Aso Rock

Westernize and hausa person in the same sentence? The same thing and many more that visionless clowns like you and your people insinuated when Yar'adau was elected. The first educated nigerian president blah blah blah. Then, we told you people to take it easy and watch it first and your all refused. Two years down the line, we have seen how much educated he is.
