The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, headed by George Akume, announced the immediate suspension of Emefiele on Friday.

According to a statement signed by Willie Bassey, the Director of Information, the suspension is a result of an ongoing investigation into Emefiele’s office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy.

Emefiele has been directed to hand over the affairs of his office to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi.

This is the second time a CBN Governor has been suspended in Nigeria.
