THE LIST: CBN Directors Consumed by ‘Hurricane Cardoso’ (updated)

At least 9 of the 17 directors who initially survived the ongoing purge at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) have been sacked.

Since he took over the apex bank, Yemi Cardoso has embarked on major reforms, which include pruning the staff number.

Daily Trust had reported how some senior staff of the bank from the era of Godwin Emefiele were spared in the massive retrenchment which began in March.
