The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) yesterday queried the board of First Bank Nigeria Limited over the removal of the Managing Director/Chief Executive of the bank, Dr. Adesola Adeduntan, saying the action was without regulatory approval.
The apex bank said the board’s move has âdire implications for the bank and also portends significant risks to the stability of the financial system.â
The central bank stated this in a letter dated April 28, 2021, signed by its Director, Banking Supervision, Mr. Haruna Mustafa, and addressed to the bankâs Chairman, Mrs. Ibukun Awosika, a copy of which was obtained by THISDAY.
