President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Lamido Abubakar Yuguda as Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. The decision is subject to confirmation by the Senate, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to the presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, Yuguda’s nomination follows the recent appointment of the erstwhile Deputy Governor, Mr. Bala Bello, as Special Adviser to the President on Political Economy.

Lamido Yuguda’s last public post was as director-general of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a position he held from 2020 to 2024.

His words, “The President charges them to discharge their responsibilities with renewed dedication, professionalism, and commitment to Nigeria’s economic stability and growth, in their respective roles.”
