While making his presentation today, Sani said Obiora’s nomination was in accordance with section 8 of the CBN Act.
He also stated that no petition against the nominee was received by the committee.
His confirmation comes after some quarters of the country raised eyebrow on the new deputy director hailing from the same state as the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele.
