The Deputy Governor of Corporate Services of the top bank, Edward Lametek Adamu, was also approved for reappointment by the Upper Chamber.
Last Tuesday, President Muhammadu Buhari forwarded the names of Ahmad and Adamu to the Senate for consideration and confirmation in order to reappoint them for the second and final terms.
The nominations were forwarded to the Senate Community on Banking, Insurance, and Other Financial Institutions by Senate President Ahmad Lawan for review.

After the presentation, the Senate approved recommendations urging it to confirm the nominees.
Senators approved that the two nominees be confirmed for reappointment as CBN’s deputy Governors when it was put to voice vote by the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege on the floor.
