Senate Confirms Lamido Yuguda as CBN Deputy Governor

On a recent date, the Nigerian Senate confirmed Lamido Yuguda as the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Senator Muhammad Danjuma Goje presented a strong case for Yuguda's nomination during a plenary session, expressing full support for the appointment.

Goje informed fellow lawmakers that Yuguda, a native of Gombe State, began his career at the apex bank as a fresh graduate and subsequently rose through the ranks to become a director at the Central Bank of Nigeria. He was later appointed as a director at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Goje described Yuguda as highly qualified, experienced, and trustworthy, urging his colleagues to back the appointment. Following the debate, the Senate dissolved into a committee of the whole to consider the report from the committee on banking, insurance, and financial institutions.
