The Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] yesterday sacked the Board and Management of Skye Bank Plc led by Mr. Timothy Oguntayo and appointed an Interim Board to run the bank.

Mr. Godwin Emefiele, Governor, CBN, said in Lagos that the apex took the decision because the bank failed to meet its minimum key liquidity and capital adequacy ratios despite repeated warnings.

The new Board of Skye Bank is head by Mr. M.K. Ahmad while Mr. Tokunbo Abiru is the new CEO.

BUHARINOMICS: Charting Path to Sustainable Economic Renaissance

The presidential election was over on Saturday, March 28, 2015. It is now a historical document for academic research and street political analysis. On March 28, CHANGE triumphed over TRANSFORMATION AGENDA, leading to the emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari as President-Elect, Federal Republic of Nigeria. On May 29, Buhari will assume the leadership of the nation, bringing to an end, the regime of Goodluck Jonathan. For Buhari, it is a long road to Aso Rock. Three times he contested and lost. And three times he dusted the stinking ashes of defeat to rise again to seek for the same office. And on the fourth effort, he won. Either fortune smiled on him or the Gods took pity on him and handed him the office to break the cycle of defeat and save him from the poisoned pen of harsh historians and political propagandists.

Non-payment of Salaries: Matters Arising

At first, it was a rumour. Then, the rumor became stronger. And then, the rumour became political allegation that the federal and state governments could no longer pay salaries because public funds were deployed by the two major political parties to prosecute the 2015 general elections. Today, the situation has become a national embarrassment that Nigeria cannot pay its civil servants-from federal government to state governments. While actual figures of the total indebtedness at the federal and state levels is difficult to ascertain, various media reports quoted N110 billion as the total sum due to the unfortunate government employees.
