CBN Sacks 200 Staff Members

Not lesser than 200 officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria were on Friday relieved of their duties.

This adds to the list of 117 staff sacked by the bank between March 15 and April 11, 2024.

The termination of appointments affects directors, deputy directors, assistant directors, principal managers, senior managers and lower-ranking staff.

Sources confirmed the sack on Friday, saying that those sacked are not less than 200.

They disclosed that affected persons include older directors who were not affected by the last round of retrenchment.

The source said, “It is real and is even more than 200 officials but the actual number is unconfirmed yet. The sack is coming in staggered phases and that is why we can’t confirm the number yet. But it is not less than 200.

“The sacked persons include directors, and other cadres but the ones that are easily known are the directors. Some of the batch of old directors that were not affected during the last round of sacks are now affected.”
