“By making these great picks, President Tinubu has again demonstrated his knack for putting round pegs in round holes by appointing experience and capacity…”
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has applauded President Bola Tinubu for appointing Olayemi Michael Cardoso as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
In a statement on Saturday in Abuja, Senate president of the body, Attah Nnalue also hailed Mr Tinubu’s nomination of Emem Usoro, Muhammad Dattijo, Philip Ikeazor, and Bala Bello as Deputy Governors of the nation’s apex bank.
“By making these great picks, President Tinubu has again demonstrated his knack for putting round pegs in round holes by appointing experience and capacity, as it is what all the nominees have in common.
“Those were what they have demonstrated in their various past antecedents. We therefore wish to greatly appreciate and commend President Tinubu for these great picks in the best interest of Nigerians.
“Similarly, the leadership of Nigerian students has no doubt that these personalities will bring their immense expertise and track record in the financial sector to bear in turning around the nation’s economic and financial fortunes.
“While awaiting the National Assembly’s confirmation of the nominees, which we strongly believe will also reflect an endorsement of capacity and experience, we reassert our hope and confidence that the nominees will do a great job,” Mr Nnalue said.
According to him, it is NANS’ belief that the nominees will implement the necessary reforms at the CBN to boost the confidence of Nigerians and other stakeholders.
Following confirmation, he expressed hope that the appointees, in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda would restructure the Nigerian economy towards sustainable growth and prosperity.
