Leadership shapes monetary stability, and time in office often reflects trust, turmoil, or both. From the oil boom years to the digital naira era, these are Nigeria’s longest-serving indigenous Central Bank Governors. Only one reigned over a decade. LONGEST SERVING INDIGENOUS CBN GOVERNOR 3 Likes

1 Abdulkadir Ahmed — 11 years, 97 days 2 Godwin Emefiele — 9 years, 8 days These were also the worst 2 ever. When IBB left office, there was only $500m in the foreign reserves. By the time Abacha died, he had increased it to $8bn. This is despite the kind of sleaze associated with Abacha. 27 Likes 2 Shares |

If uou say the truth in this divided country, people will say it's "bad belle". The truth is we didn't go far with great policies especially from those who served the longest. Emefiele is the worst on the list as far as I'm concerned. 1 Like |

jojo1415:pls shed more light on the nice job he did, he over stayed because of his allegiances to bubu what soludo did was wonderful he ensured he stabilized the banking sector, started the cashless policies we all enjoying today though sanusi followed up extensively, emefiele did not make any meaningful polies 8 Likes |

Dr. Clement Isong remains the best CBN Governor. He's also the First CBN Governor to become a State Governor (the Civilian Governor of the Old Cross River State) He did very well both as a State Governor and as CBN Governor. His image appears on the ₦1000 notes alongside Mai of Borno 1 Like |
