Two weeks after he mounted the saddle as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele yesterday shook up the apex bank, redeploying the Deputy Governors.

The move, according to a statement signed by Isaac A. Okorafor, on behalf of the Director, Corporate Communications, is “in line with his (Emefiele’s) vision of entrenching a more professional and people-focused central bank.

Under the new regime, Alhaji Suleiman Barau, Deputy Governor, Corporate Services Directorate is now the Deputy Governor, Operations Directorate. Dr. Kingsley Moghalu currently the Deputy Governor, Operations, returns to the Financial Systems Stability (FSS) Directorate while Mr. Adebayo Adelabu, who was in charge of Financial Systems Stability (FSS) is now the Deputy Governor, Corporate Services. Dr. Sarah Alade, who acted as Governor following the suspension of erstwhile Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in February until Emefiele’s assumption of office on June 3, retains her position as the Deputy Governor, Economic Policy Directorate.

“These redeployments, which take effect from Monday 23rd June 2014, are expected to contribute to the Bank’s vision of being the Model Central Bank delivering Price and Financial System Stability and promoting sustainable Economic Development,” Okorafor said in the statement issued in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
