President Muhammadu Buhari has re-appointed Aishah Ahmad and Edward Lametek Adamu as deputy governors of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Ahmad and Adamu were first appointed as CBN deputy governors in charge of the financial system stability, and corporate services directorate respectively, in March 2018, Daily Trust reports.

President Buhari, in a letter, addressed to the senate president, Ahmad Lawan, and read during plenary on Tuesday, December 6, asked the red chamber to confirm their nominations in the “usual expeditious manner.”

As the deputy governor in charge of financial system stability, Aisha is responsible for leading the effort to promote a sound financial system in Nigeria.

In this role, Aishah will be a member of the governing board and committee of governors at the CBN and chairman of the Financial Institutions Training Centre (FITC), a non-governmental organization offering training, consulting and research services for the financial services sector.

Aishah, before her appointment at CBN, was executive director, retail banking at Diamond Bank, with over 22 years of experience as a corporate executive and finance expert.

Her banking and investment career spans several financial institutions including NAL Bank Plc, Zenith Bank Plc and Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc, amongst others.

Meanwhile, Adamu began his career in the Unified Public Service (UPS) in 1983 with the Bauchi state civil service.

He spent thirty-five (35) years in the UPS, twenty-five (25) of which was spent in CBN.

During his years in CBN, he worked in the Gombe state civil service from 2008 to 2010 as the senior special assistant and head, procurement management and due process office.

Adamu returned to the apex bank in 2010 and was appointed director of the strategy management department in 2012, after a selection process.

He was later deployed to the human resources department of the bank in 2016 as director, a position he held until his retirement from the services of the bank on February 14, 2018.
