Reps to Investigate Alleged Recruitment by CBN

The House of Representatives has mandated its Standing Committees on Federal Character; and Banking and Currency to investigate the recent recruitment exercise carried out by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for violating Federal Character Principles.

Hon. Aliyu Madaki (APC, Kano), who moved the motion said the recruitment exercise employed about 909 people which has since then drawn negative reactions over the way it was conducted.

He alleged that top officials in government and the elites had their relations employed by the apex bank at the time the said recruitment was carried out.

“It lacks federal character, justice as stated in the constitution, “he said.

He recalled that when Nigerians got wind of the exercise ,the apex bank came out to deny the claims.

Meanwhile, CBN denied all allegations of such.
