President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday
suspended Mallam Lamido Sanusi as the Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria. The suspension order was contained in a statement by the
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben
Abati.
Abati said Jonathan had found out that
Sanusi’s tenure as the CBN governor has been characterised by acts of
financial recklessness and misconduct which are inconsistent with his
administration’s vision.
He named a Deputy Governor of the CBN,
Dr. Sarah Alade, as the acting governor. He said Alade would remain in
charge until the conclusion of ongoing investigations into breaches of
enabling laws, due process and mandate of the CBN.
