As the clock ticks away for the tenure of the Central Bank Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, speculations are rife that a woman top banker, Mrs Aishah Ahmad, one of his deputies, and any among eight others may be his likely successor if he’s not re-appointed, although the position has a tradition of rotating between the north and the south.

The other eminent Nigerians being thought fit for the job include Professor Soji Adelaja, Mohammed Dikwa, Bismarck Rewane, Umaru Abdul Mutallab , Obadiah Mailafia, Bello Maccido, Adesola Adeduntan and Herbert Wigwe.

What makes the position of an apex bank governor tick is its direct implication on the economy as he is expected to advise the president on both fiscal and monetary policies from time to time. Aside this, the CBN Act, 2007, states that the Governor is expected to formulate, for the approval of the Board, general rules and any subsequent amendments thereto, providing for:

•The safe keeping of the common seal of the bank

•The safe keeping of the assets of the bank and of valuables entrusted to the bank

•The safe keeping of stocks of unissued or redeemed currency and the preparation, safe custody and destruction of plates and paper for the printing of currency notes and disc for the minting of coins

•The protection of bank notes and coins in transit

•The conditions under which any Zonal Controller, Branch Controller or Currency Officer may be appointed; and

•The conditions governing discounts and advances

•The exercise of dual control and general security throughout the bank; and

•Such additional arrangement which may be made to ensure the efficient working of the bank, through proper observance of security and the accuracy of the accounts of the bank.

As a result of these, an online platform, North East Star, is of the opinion that professional background, regional consideration and international exposure come to play in determining who becomes the CBN governor.

“Given the extreme market reactions to changes on who heads the central bank in some emerging markets, the professional background of the central bank governor must suggest that he or she has the experience to devise and run an effective monetary policy for the country.

“And going by the federal character provisions in any federal appointment in Nigeria. A critical look at the table shows that all the past CBN governors and their tenure suggests that regional consideration plays an active role in the appointment of the central bank governor. One thing is very clear: the position has a tradition of alternating between the north and the south (Prof. Charles Soludo from the South, then Sanusi L. Sanusi from the north, then Mr. Emefiele from the south).

“Again, President Buhari and his government will like to see someone with international exposure and expertise as the next CBN czar. The next CBN governor will be someone who knows how the Breton Woods institutions operates, who has some training from Harvard or Cambridge, someone whom the international financial world can respect,” it adds.

In its February 15 edition, an online medium, www.newsonbanks.com, stated that President Muhammadu Buhari was considering Mrs Ahmad as the substantive governor when Emefiele’s term expires in June.

The news outlet , quoting ‘a highly dependable source from the presidency’ states that “it is not yet clear if there are strong economic reasons for this, considering Emefiele’s sterling performance in stabilising the Naira in the winds of the economic turbulence, hellish recession and sluggish recovery that have plagued President Buhari’s years in office.”

The CBN Governor’s tenure expires in the first week of June and the elected President would be sworn in on May 29, “So the President is being pressured to submit her name to the Senate immediately before or after the election and ensure that it is considered and approved before the end of May,” the presidency source said.Aishah Ahmad, 42, is the youngest member of the CBN Board and oversees the Financial Systems Stability Directorate of the apex bank. She replaced Dr Sarah Alade who retired in March 2017. If this Senate approves her nomination, she will be the youngest and the first female CBN Governor in Nigeria and the first female to hold the position in Africa.

However, aside Mrs Ahmad, an in-depth research and investigation conducted by North East Star revealed that eight others are currently being scrutinized and assessed for the job. These include Professor Soji Adelaja,an economist and John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University (MSU), USA; Mohammed Kyari Dikwa, a holder of phd in Accounting and Finance, whose success in coordinating the TSA and the blockage of billions for the government through PICA was said to have endeared him to the President; Bismarck Rewane, a financial analyst and the Managing Director of Financial Derivatives Company; Umaru Abdul Mutallab, former CEO of UBA and ex-Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria and Obadiah Mailafia, a former CBN deputy governor in charge of monetary policy, foreign exchange operations, investment management, research, statistics, and cooperation with international institutions. The rest are Bello Maccido, the Chairman of FBN Merchant Bank; Adesola Adeduntan, Managing Director/CEO ,First Bank of Nigeria Limited and Herbert Wigwe, Group Managing Director/CEO , Access Bank Plc.

I can bet that a northern Muslim will take it.. una eye go clear

Wow Muhammad Abdul Mutalab. Is he not the father of that suicide bomber?
A northerners would emerge

It seems some people already know the incoming CBN Gov




....hmmm

Where is ADEOSUN?

May the best that will reduce the 65 naira ATM maintenance fee to 10 naira or less and remove all those unnecessary bank charges emerge

May the best candidate win be appointed.

To a new and better Nigeria we go.

We are confident that we voted for the very best man for the job.

If no be hausa dem give dat job mke my prick begin dance zanku leg work

Shey una want next level? Watch and see 97% northern appointment.. Buhari has no reason to appoint southerners, he ain't seeking for re-election

A CBN governor must be well read with relevant years of experience.

It is not bad if they rotate between North and South because ours is non nation country but the candidate from North must be sound to avoid economic catastrophe.

Emefiele has done well and should be considered for second term.

A northern muslim loading...

I support this,

1. Let give our female opportunity to excel, that's one thing I dislike in the political strategy that saw the exist of Adeosun.
2. If the position is being rotated between South and North, why not give her a chance as she was acknowledged to be qualify.
3. It gives the youth the sense of belonging and will inspires a lot of young one, most especially the female folks. Dora and Ngozi come to mind.
4. Her appointment may solidify Nigeria goodwill among committees of nation.

I would have love to know if she is a positive economist like Emefele or normative economist like Sanusi.

OK

Southerners named here shouldn't bother wasting their time.

The king of the North is back
