Emefiele Re-appointed for 2nd Term as CBN Governor

Mr. Godwin Emefiele, Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been re-appointed for second term in office by President Muhammadu Buhari. His first tenure is due to expire in June 2019.

The Presidency has already dispatched the letter nominating Emefiele for second terms as CBN governor to the Senate for confirmation.

Some of the notable policies of Emefiele in the first term include forex management, restriction in the importation of various items that could be produced locally to reduce out-flow of foreign exchange and the Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) to support the growth of the agricultural sector in Nigeria.

An Industry Roadmap for Next Commissioner for Insurance

Considering the contests Nigeria has experienced to have candidates elected into political offices this year, I would sometimes wish that other offices, though professional but equally political, undergo such contests involving manifesto-based campaigns and broad consultation with stakeholders. More than the just concluded elections, the emergence of a new Commissioner for Insurance (CFI) and helmsman of National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) through appointment by the President matters and should matter for many Nigerians. This is because the Nigerian insurance industry bears the promise of employment to increasing number of young job seekers, the opportunity of long term investible funds as we enhance our infrastructural base and the hope for improvement in the management of the emergent risks associated with decisions concerning our national economy.
