Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has appointed a financial watchdog to investigate the central bank, weeks after he suspended its governor, a copy of a letter from the president showed on Sunday, July 30, 2023.<\/p>\n

Tinubu on June 9\u00a0suspended<\/a>\u00a0Godwin Emefiele, who was then\u00a0detained<\/a> by state security agents for allegedly misappropriating funds and a “criminal breach of trust.”<\/p>\n

Emefiele last week\u00a0appeared in court<\/a> to deny illegally possessing a firearm and ammunition.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated July 28, Tinubu appointed the chief executive of Nigeria’s Financial Reporting Council as special investigator of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other government-owned entities.<\/p>\n

The letter said the investigator should make weekly reports to the president.<\/p>\n

“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,” Tinubu said.<\/p>\n

The investigator was to “provide a comprehensive report on public wealth currently in the hands of corrupt individuals and establishments.”<\/p>\n

A presidency source<\/a> confirmed the authenticity of the letter.<\/p>\n

Tinubu’s spokesperson Dele Alake did not immediately comment.<\/p>\n

Tinubu has embarked on the country’s boldest reforms in decades, including removing a popular but costly fuel subsidy and lifting restrictions on foreign exchange trading, a gamble which he hopes will boost growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
