The Senate on Wednesday
confirmed for appointment, the nomination of Mr. Godwin Emefiele, as the
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The upper chamber also approved the appointment of Hon. Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa as the President of the Court of Appeal.
Both nominees answered questions on the economy and administration of justice from the senators.
Emefiele pledged not to spend any money in contravention of the law and decried the uncontrollable injection of foreign currencies into the economy stressing that the development if not curbed, could collapse the system.
He said, “We will be fair, just, and firm in the discharge of our duties and ensure that we have a strong exchange rate.”
Bulkachuwa on her part, lamented the under-funding of the judiciary, stressing that the development was affecting speedy administration of justice.
She also said the use of longhand to record proceedings at the court due to absence of electronic recording facilities, would be addressed if her appointment was confirmed.
The Senators therefore, after the screening, confirmed their appointments with the Senate President tasking them to justify the confidence reposed in them by discharging their duties effectively on resumption, “without fear or favour”.
