Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has accused President Bola Tinubu of appointing the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor, Yemi Cardoso with a patched-up curriculum vitae.<\/p>\n
Lawal said Tinubu appointed Cardoso with such a CV because he was the Commissioner of Planning in Lagos State when the president was governor.<\/p>\n
Appearing on Arise TV, the former SGF stressed that Lagos State was very small when compared to the entire country.<\/p>\n
He maintained that Cardoso was not qualified to occupy the office of the CBN governor.<\/p>\n
According to Lawal: \u201cAs to his Central Bank Governor, in my response to APC (All Progressives Congress) when they decided to take me on, I mentioned that the President had a Central Bank Governor with \u2018patch-patch\u2019 CV.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said \u2018patch-patch\u2019 CV because he was the commissioner of planning in Lagos State, a very small state out of the 36 states we have. It is a big economy but you cannot say he has enough experience to be in that position as the Central Bank governor.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey also went on to say that he was a chairman of a bank with 13 branches, and that doesn\u2019t give him sufficient exposure \u2013 a bank with 13 branches. I mentioned that they are all located around Lagos with two branches in Lagos, Warri, Benin City, and all that.\u201d<\/p>\n
