The whereabouts of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor are still a subject of suspense.
News filtered in the CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele had slipped into the country unannounced.
No CBN official agreed to confirm or deny the news but a top official of the bank said: “He is not in the office now and we cannot speak on that now”.
However, a source at the Presidential Villa gave a categorical confirmation that Emefiele has been in the country for quite a while.
The CBN Governor has been out of the country for over a month and did not appear before the National Assembly committees that summoned him to explain the rationale behind the cash withdrawal limit policy of the CBN.
While the news of Emefiele’s arrival into the country was making the rounds, the CBN was pleading with Nigerians to respect and accept the redesigned Naira notes
You will recall that President Muhammadu Buhari unveiled the redesigned notes in November last year and they came into circulation on the 15th of December, 2022.
Since then, the new notes have been battling with widespread acceptance, with market women and traders refusing to accept the new notes
