The appointments of Dr. Cardoso and Mrs. Usoro were particularly surprising, as they are relatively unknown figures within the Nigerian financial sector. Their lack of prior experience in similar positions has led some to question their qualifications for such high-profile roles. Additionally, the appointment of four new deputy governors at once is a significant departure from previous practice, raising concerns about the possibility of increased political influence within the CBN.


These appointments are likely to have a significant impact on the Nigerian economy. Dr. Cardoso's leadership will influence the CBN's monetary policy decisions, which will directly affect interest rates, inflation, and economic growth. The appointment of four new deputy governors also raises questions about the future direction of the CBN and its independence from political interference.


The appointments have been met with mixed reactions. Some have expressed support for Tinubu's decision, citing the need for fresh perspectives in leadership positions. Others have expressed concern about the lack of transparency and the potential for political influence within the CBN. Speculation is rife about the rationale behind these appointments, with some suggesting that they may be linked to political considerations or personal relationships.


It is still too early to say definitively what the impact of these appointments will be. However, it is clear that they will have a significant influence on the Nigerian economy and the future of the CBN. Only time will tell whether these appointments will be seen as positive changes or a step in the wrong direction for the country.


We will continue to monitor this developing story and provide updates as more information becomes available. Be sure to check back for further insights and analysis of President Tinubu's recent appointments.

The visitors were thoroughly dominant in the first half at Old Trafford but were unable to find a way past De Gea, who made saves from Kai Havertz and N'Golo Kante. But Chelsea finally broke the deadlock midway through the second half when Marcos Alonso volleyed home from an angle. The Blues' celebrations had barely finished as Manchester United responded within a minute, Nemanja Matic playing a brilliant ball into the box and Ronaldo taking a touch before thumping a shot into the net. That brought Old Trafford to life - there had been a subdued atmosphere inside the ground up to that point, while discontent against the club's owners was still clear as protests were held outside for the second home game in succession. Reece James hit the outside of the post while Ronaldo could have secured all three points for the hosts...
