President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has written to the Senate to confirm the appointment of Dr Ruby Onwudiwe as a member of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The request followed a letter addressed to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpiabio, and read during plenary on Wednesday.
In the letter, Tinubu said the confirmation request complied with the provisions of Section 10, Sub-section One of the Central Bank of Nigeria Establishment Act 2007.
The letter reads: “I am pleased to present for confirmation by the Senate the appointment of Dr. Ruby Onwudiwe as a member of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
“The Senate is invited to kindly note that Dr. Ruby Onwudiwe is a replacement for Mr. Kalu Eke, due to the unavailability of Mr Eke for the position.
“It is my hope therefore, that the Senate will consider and confirm in its usual expeditious manner the appointment of Onwudiwe.
“Please accept the distinguished Senate President, the assurance of my highest regards.”
