Report according to Vanguard suggests that, the former Central Bank of Nigeria and dethroned emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi may emerge as the new governor of the apex bank after the Inauguration of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The report has it that a powerful lobby is currently pushing for the return of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, as the shape of Tinubu’s presidency begins to emerge.
Sanusi, whose forte is risk management in banking, enjoys the blessing of Governor Nasiru El Rufai of Kaduna State who has the ears of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
As CBN governor between 2009 and 2014, Sanusi’s strong, independent leadership of the apex bank ensured relative stability of the financial market, especially after the turbulence of the global financial crisis of 2008/2009.
Besides, Naira’s value stabilised from around N155 to $1 for four years.
Tinubu, a seasoned accountant, is said to be predisposed to a new monetary management template, synergised with sound fiscal policy to immediately revitalise the national economy upon the assumption of office on May 29.
Sanusi is seen as a credible technocrat with a strong character to sanitise the banking/financial sector.
