In what appears to be a series of dismissals by the Olayemi Cardoso-led Board of Governors of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, about 40 senior staff have been dismissed, bringing the number of the dismissed to 67.
There are reports that because the sack letters were released late Friday, details of those affected are sketchy but Musa Zgabawa Bulus, an Assistant Director of the CBN, heading the National Collateral Registry (NCR) was affected.
NCR is an initiative of CBN aimed at improving access to finance particularly for Nano Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) leveraging movable assets.
It was also reported that deputy directors and assistant directors were mostly affected with 22 from the DFD and the remaining 18 from Medicals and Procurement Services Department.
Recall that not less than 27 members of staff, most of them directors at the Central Bank of Nigeria, were affected by the first batch of dismissals, even as more are set to be axed in the coming days.
Amongst those affected were eight directors, 10 deputy directors, five assistant directors, two principal managers and two senior managers.
