Following the exit of Dr. Kingsley Moghalu as a Deputy Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the end of his five-year term, THISDAY
learnt on Sunday that the presidency had recommended a former director
of research at the CBN, Dr. O.J. Nnanna for the job.
THISDAY gathered that on resumption of plenary session by the Senate
last Tuesday, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, who
presided over the session, announced on the floor of the Senate, the
receipt of a letter from President Goodluck Jonathan forwarding Nnanna’s
name as nominee for screening and approval of the Senate for
appointment as a deputy governor of the CBN.
According to the source, Nnanna’s name has already been sent to the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency for screening.
