CBN Sacks Over 200 Senior Staff Members
No fewer than 200 officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria were on Friday relieved of their duties.
This is an addition to the long list of ongoing disengagements in the apex bank.
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 say those sacked are not less than 200.
A staff member who could not disclose further details for fear of victimisation added that the move has caused apprehension among staff of every cadre as the management has not specified any criteria for the decisions.
Another source confirmed the information, indicating that additional dismissals are expected in the months ahead, spread out across staggered phases.
The official 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.”
The sack letter obtained from the Human Resources Department on May 24, 2024, said the policy was to reorganise the organisation for effective operations.
