Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has called for transparency and accountability in the management of the nation’s resources.
Sanusi, who is the Keynote Speaker, made the call in Kaduna State during the seventh edition of KadInvest, an annual event organised by the Kaduna State Investment Promotion Agency on the topic, ‘Improving subnational resilience against global economic shocks’.
The ex-CBN governor lamented oil theft, Nigeria’s rising debt profile, unbalanced subsidy payment and soaring foreign exchange, amongst other monetary and economic challenges facing Nigeria at the moment.
He called for transparency and credibility in the management of the nation’s resources and demanded the unbundling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, saying the company is not a cash cow but should be run as an independent enterprise with high-level accountability.
“I keep repeating, hope you remember that I lost my job at the Central Bank of Nigeria for this same problem. It is not about a particular party. I have no party. My party is Nigeria. This is the problem we had in 2014. Asiwaju (Tinubu) knows my party is Nigeria.”
