The Senate Committee on Banking and Finance, on Monday, commenced the process of confirming the nominees for the positions of Deputy Governors and members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
These nominees had earlier been selected by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The nominees are made up of two Deputy Governors and four members of the Monetary Policy Committee.
They were on Monday lead to the screening by the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on National Assembly Matters, Senator Ita Enang.
The Senate last week Tuesday had earlier decided to reverse its decision not to confirm any nominee from President Buhari.
At legislative proceedings last week, the Senate decided to make concessions by screening for confirmation of the nominees. They gave the committee on Banking and Finance, one week to consider the requests of the President.
Speaking after the screening on Monday, Enang said he is hopeful that the Senate will consider other nominees pending before the senate.
“You can observe that those who are screened now are the two deputy governors, the four nominees of the Monetary Policy Committee. The members of the board are not screened. I know the Senate in its magnanimity will extend that and go ahead to clear other nominees,” he said.
Some of the screening process, Enang explained involves studying the credentials and curriculum vitae of the nominees and adequate questioning.
