BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE : IN SEARCH OF A NEW HELSMAN AT CBN?

IN SEARCH OF A NEW HELSMAN AT CBN? THE BATTLE IS ON
Array Of Likely Candidates

Going by the recent happenings in the financial sector , the CBN , the chief regulator of this sector is gradually gearing up for the winding up of the tenure of the sitting governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and the emergence of a new helmsman.
Definitely, there are financial and economic experts that meet these criteria, inside and outside the apex bank. Thus another issue that should be considered is whether the next governor should be an outsider or an insider.

Should the government decide to choose an outsider; there is an array of bank chief executives and top economist to choose from. These include, Mr, Bisi Onasanya, MD/CEO of First Bank, Mr. Segun Agbaje, MD/CEO of Guaranty Trust Bank, Dr Alex Otti, MD/CEO of Diamond Bank Plc and Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhoude, MD/CEO of Acess Bank. Among them,  will be the  supposed anointed  and widely speculated would be appointed candidate which is the Access Bank CEO.

Should the government decide to choose an insider from the board of the apex bank; the likes of Mr. Tunde Lemo, former chief executive officer of Wema Bank, who was appointed in 2004 would come to mind. Another likely candidate is Dr (Mrs.) Sarah Alade, the second female deputy governor of the CBN. Time will tell as events continue to unfold on the likely candidate which will be appointed by the President.
