*clears throat*...Sanusi and pretty maryam.
The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has reacted to media reports on its Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, claiming that he recruited his alleged girlfriend, Mrs Maryam Yaro, into the institution based on the romantic relationship between them.
In a rebuttal statement addressed to Premium Times, which broke the story, the CBN Director, Corporate Communications, Ugochukwu A Okoroafor, specifically made clarification on the allegation that Yaro is a staff of CBN.
Okoroafor stressed that Yaro is not a staff of CBN but a consultant. He described the publication as “full of fabrication and inaccuracies.”
The CBN spokesman maintained that the institution gives an “equal opportunity” to everyone who “possess the highest qualifications, competencies and skills.”
On the allegations regarding the alleged romance between Sanusi and Yaro, Okoroafor said, “in line with the Governor’s usual practice of not responding to these libelous comments on his person, we have decided not to respond.”
