The National Assembly is seeking amendments to the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 2007, to bar top officials of the apex bank from partisan politics.
Championed by ex-lawmaker representing Abia Central Senatorial District, Darlington Nwokocha before he was sacked from office by an Appeal Court sitting in Lagos in 2023, the amendment seeks to prohibit the Chairman, Governor, and Deputy Governors of the CBN from engaging in political activities or becoming members of any political party for three years after service.
