Jim Obazee: Tinubu Appoints Special Investigator To Probe CBN & Related Entities by fergie001: 8:04pm On Jul 30, 2023
Jim Osayande Obazee has a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from the University of Benin; a Master of Science degree in Accounting from the University of Lagos, and a certification in strategic financial analysis for business evaluation from Harvard University, USA.

He is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), and a member of the Nigeria Institute of Management (NIM) and the American Accounting Association (AAA).
President Bola Tinubu has appointed a special investigator Jim Osayande to probe the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Related Activities.

This was contained in a letter signed by the President and obtained by Channels Television on Sunday.

“In accordance with the fundamental objective set forth in Section 15(5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), this administration is today, continuing the fight against corruption by appointing you as a Special Investigator, to investigate the CBN and Related Entities. This appointment shall be with immediate effect and you are to report directly to my office,” Tinubu’s letter read.

“The full terms of your engagement as Special Investigator shall be communicated to you in due course but, require that you immediately take steps to ensure the strengthening and probity of key Government Business Entities (GBEs), further block leakages in CBN and related GBEs and provide a comprehensive report on public wealth currently in the hands of corrupt individuals and establishments (whether private or public).

“You are to investigate the CBN and related entities using a suitably experienced, competent, and capable team and work with relevant security and anti-corruption agencies to deliver on this assignment. I shall expect a weekly briefing on the progress being made.”

The development is coming just as the suspended apex bank governor Godwin Emefiele is undergoing trial.

SOURCE

Obazee is not new to controversies:

- In 2013, he was accused of sexual harassment by his Personal Assistant, Abimbola Yakubu. He had allegedly repeatedly threatened to sack Mrs. Yakubu, his PA of three years, for not acceding to his amorous advances.

-Through the FRC, he recommended the sack of ex-CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in 2014.

-In 2015, he suspended the FRC numbers of Atedo Peterside (then Chairman of Stanbic IBTC), Sola David-Borha (then Group Managing Director) and two other Directors over alleged infractions in the financial statements and thereafter imposed N1bn fine on the Bank. A decision that he overturned two months later.

- In 2016, he introduced National Code of Corporate Governance (NCCG), forcing General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to step down from the position. The code stipulated a maximum 20 years for heads of non-profit organisations.

- The decision hitting the non-profit organisations caused a friction between Mr. Obazee and then Trade and Investments Minister, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah. He had stubbornly refused to shelve the implementation of the NCCG, a decision that forced his sack in January 2017.

Obazee like Enelamah, was a Pastor at the RCCG.

He was first appointed FRC Executive Secretary in 2010 and re-appointed in 2014 before his sack in 2017.

To what end?

The former President did same, na initial gra gra.

There's little or no evidence of productivity since Tinubu's administration took place yet he kept on chasing a person who acted solely on orders being given to him by Someone I wouldn't wanna mention

Though, Emefiele mayn't be totally clean but if Tinubu truly wanna fight corruption in CBN and not witchhunt or play blind eye to some things, then the former President should be first to be questioned.

So, I'll ask again
To what f**k'n end?

Re: Jim Obazee: Tinubu Appoints Special Investigator To Probe CBN & Related Entities by adioolayi(m): 8:22pm On Jul 30, 2023
All I have been seeing are positive reviews about this investigator ...thorough and no nonsense person.

Some are evening saying any organizations that had shady deals with CBN in the last couple of years should also be ready to be touched by this man.

I hope he will be able to block all loopholes at CBN and restore sanity.


I wish him all the best.

CBN has been used as a conduit to steal lot of our commonwealth, especially the Emefiele dude.

I watched the revelation by a rep member on Brekete family, I was shocked at the degree and level of corruption at CBN.

So brazen!

I was with some friends in an highbrow area of Abuja unwinding yesternight when one of my friends that works with Presidency said I should give him Idris Abdulkareem's number, that he wants to say a Big Congratulations him. I told him I didn't have Idris number, and then asked him what the Congratulations about? He said he overheard discussion during the day when Idris Abdulkareems name was penciled down as the best selected among all the modern Musicians considered to be immediately Appointed as Special Adviser to The President on Youths Affairs. Of cause I know the Presidency has Idris number would surely intimate him on his new Appointment soon, I guess my friend just wanted to get the privilege of pre-informing him.

Sincerely, Idris has been one of the very few Great Nigerian Musicians that have not greedily focused on amorally making money. They must have observed that he has been at the Forefront of intentionally Using his Song for Positive Social Engineering of Nigerian Youths in Particular and African Youths in General.

Similar to many of his Songs, remember his "Mr Lecturer" Song where he so excellently artistically used the Hit Track Song to warn young Nigerian Lecturers and Teachers to stop using their position to take advantage of female Students, as he was arrested and taken to Prison at the end of that Song in the Music Video.

Unlike some senseless myopic Musicians that have been using their Songs to destroyed the mentality of Nigerian Youths by promoting Drug Abuse, Hooliganism, YahooYahoo, etc. Idris Abdulkareem has truly Proven that he has Right Priories when it comes to Purpose Fulfillment and application of his God-given Talent to better Humanity, unlike the Visionless directionaless Souls that have done irreparable Damage and Destruction to the Lives of our Youths with their Societal-destructive Songs that has made our Youths to become unprecedentedly immoral, violent, directionless and unpatriotic!

Finally, my friend told us all that this Idris Abdulkareem's Song below is the one that really got him Chosen above all others in the Yesterday's Destiny-deciding Meeting. He said the President was so impression with it that guy in charge had to put it playing low on Repeat non-Stop at the background throughout the Meeting. It must be because the Song really discourages the myopic Japa-mentality that is now so common among Nigerian Youths. Idris Abdukareem addressed this Song to the Yoruba Youths in particular because he must have noticed that the counter-progressive Japa Syndrome has become particularly endemic especially among the Yoruba Youths, that is why he used this to encourage and remind them of the Great Yoruba Blood of their Fathers that Courageously Protected and Developed Yoruba Land as Youths in their own Days. It is also a message for all Nigerians to stay in Nigeria because only then can we join hands to make our Country truly Great.

If you know Idris Abdulkareem, quickly put a Call through to him and say a Big Congratulations! His Labour of Love for Humanity is finally paying up.
Me too I've downloaded this Song and put it on Repeat in my car, let's share it far and wide. Great Jam!!!

I agree with you but I am very sure one day, someone with iron balls will investigate his own corrupt practices too. Especially in Lagos and South Western states, where he used Judiciary to install his stooges as governors to siphon public funds.
