Legit.ng also reported that President Tinubu was advised to stop the culture of appointing bankers as governors of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), a long-standing practice in the apex bank.
Deji Adeyanju, a Nigerian activist, on Friday, June 23, gave the advice in a Twitter post while responding to the suggestion that Adesola Adeduntan, the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of First Bank Nigeria, should take over the position of the CBN governor.
Adeyanju suggested that Nigeria should try appointing an economist with integrity and immense work experience with international organisations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), adding that the bankers are mere marketers who know nothing about the economy.
