DEPUTY Governor (Operations Directorate), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Folashodun Shonubi, has taken over as the new Acting Governor of the apex bank.
This is just as former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has applauded President Bola Tinubu’s suspension of Godwin Emefiele as the Governor of the CBN.

Tinubu suspended Emefiele late Friday and directed him to immediately hand over the bank’s Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate) Folashodun Shonubi.
Reacting to the development, Wike, who was one of the critics of Emefiele’s policies, especially the Naira redesign, described the President’s decision as bold and timely.
The former Rivers State Governor also commanded President Tinubu for approving uniformity in the retirement age and pension of judicial officers in the country, according to a statement by his media team.
