The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Olayemi Cardoso has assured the CBN under his leadership will not be hijacked by any politician.
He said that Nigerians have seen the effect of not doing right, and we do not intend for that to be repeated.
Cardoso stated this during the screening at the floor of the Senate on Tuesday.
He was asked by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio if he would be ‘influenced or hijacked’ by politicians when he assumed office.
According to the CBN governor, “It is important that we, who are considered for this position today, understand that this is a position of trust.
“With that comes a huge responsibility to meet up with that trust. I know that a lot of time and effort has gone into choosing the people who are standing here for nomination today.
“As far as I am concerned, under my leadership, we will not be hijacked by anybody. The idea is to ensure that we do what is right, when it is right, and how it is right. We’ve seen what the effect of not doing right has been, and we do not intend for that to be repeated,” Cardoso said.
