Pat Utomi declares it was wrong to appoint Sanusi as CBN Governor.

A renowned economist and the Director of Lagos Business School, Professor Pat Utomi, has berated the tenure of Lamido, described his original appointment as “a huge mistake”.

Prof. Utomi made his comments in Abuja, stated that Sanusi should never have been appointed as the CBN Governor.

He faulted the nomination and appointment of Sanusi five years ago on the grounds that the suspended bank chief lacked certain qualities for occupying such a post.

It would be noted that Prof. Utomi joined two Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Falana and Chief Mike Ozhekhome, who had issued legal positions on the suspension of the apex bank chief.

While Falana blamed Sanusi for not resigning, when directed so by President Goodluck Jonathan, Ozhekome cited alleged infringements of extant rules to justify Sanusi’s suspension.
