The New CBN Governor Is Godwin Emefiele, Zenith Bank’s CEO

After the suspension of Central Bank of Nigeria's
Governor Sanusi Lamido, President Jonathan has
picked the current CEO of Zenith Bank, Godwin
Emefiele to replace him.
Following Sanusi's suspension today, Sarah Alade

governor is confirmed.
After his confirmation, Godwin Emefiele will take
over as the substantive CBN Governor in place of
the suspended Governor whose tenure ends in June
2014.
President Jonathan also picked Adelabu Adebayo, an
executive director at First Bank as the deputy
governor of CBN. He will replaced Tunde Lemo who
retired in 2013.
Godwin Emefiele did his BSc and MBA at the
University of Nigeria Nsukka. He later attended
Harvard Business School.
Meanwhile, Sanusi has threatened to take President
Jonathan to court for accusing him of fraud.
