CBN reportedly sacks 200 workers
A massive shake up has rocked the Central Bank of Nigeria as the apex bank has reportedly initiated another round of terminations affecting executive directors and approximately 200 staff members.
According to viral reports on social media, the affected employees hail from various departments including Trade and Exchange, Procurement and Support Services (PSSD), DFD, and FPRD.
This latest dismissal adds to the long list of ongoing disengagement at the apex bank.
So far, 317 staff have been disengaged by the CBN in the past 2 months.
According to Daily Trust, the dismissals are likely connected to the CBN’s refocus from development finance interventions.
Cardoso had previously voiced concerns about such interventions, arguing that they take the bank outside its core function and could distort the economy.
The termination of appointments affected directors, deputy directors, assistant directors, principal managers, senior managers, and lower-ranking staff.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
