| Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Mr Sanusi Lamido Sanusi |
Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has
called for the immediate sack of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN), Mr Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in a
statement signed by its president Abdulwaheed
Omar.
“It
is obvious Sanusi was never
qualified for the office of CBN governor in the first instance, and he must be
asked to leave the office as he has shown more than enough incompetence and
contempt for the Nigerian people”.
“We
see in Sanusi an agent of death that
must be defeated and crushed before he further destroys the Nigerian economy”.
Mr Omar accused the CBN chief of not
implementing policies that have benefitted the Nigerian people and the economy.
“Since
assumption of office as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, all
Sanusi’s major pronouncements have been either directly anti people or ruinous
to the Nigerian economy”.
“And
we need to ask Sanusi how much work he has successfully done in the CBN to
reposition it to contemporary realities? He is surrounded with countless aides
that are obviously not required by a man who believes that the Nigerian economy
runs too high on overhead cost”.
The NLC also berated the bank
chief’s call for the scrapping of the third tier of government claiming it is a
pivotal part of the federal system of government that Nigeria is operating.
The NLC further canvassed for
increased funding of local governments to enable “them function properly as required under a federal system”.
The statement also said “The truth, which Sanusi as a beneficiary
is running away from, is that corruption has become a real burden on the
economy and it should be the only priority item on the table of any serious
government. Even if you sack all the workers in Nigeria, any amount saved from
that will be stolen and the culprits will walk in freedom”.
