Yemi Cardoso, the new governor of Central Bank of Nigeria has declared that under his leadership, the apex bank will not be hijacked by any politician.
VerseNews reports that Cardoso stated this while reacting to a question by Senate President Godswill Akpabio if he would be “influenced” or “hijacked” by politicians when he assumes office.
Responding, the CBN governor said: “It is important that we, who are considered for this position today, understand that this is a position of trust.
“With that comes a huge responsibility to meet up with that trust. I know that a lot of time and effort has gone into choosing the people who are standing here for nomination today.
“As far as I am concerned, under my leadership, we will not be hijacked by anybody. The idea is to ensure that we do what is right, when it is right, and how it is right. We’ve seen what the effect of not doing right has been, and we do not intend for that to be repeated.”
