The Central Bank of Nigeria may be asked to withdraw its audited annual financial reports which were released last month, according to findings by The PUNCH.
Economists and civil society organisations are divided over the probe of the CBN, NNPCL and other Government Business Entities by the president.
He said, “It is a new administration, and if there is any reason to suspect that the case has not been managed well, the only way to get the facts out is through the normal audit and maybe a forensic audit. It is not out of place. An economist with the School of Management and Social Sciences, Pan-Atlantic University, Prof Bright Eregha, observed that the Federal Government might have ordered the probe because it felt the apex bank did not perform well or stick to its mandate.
‘’Don’t also forget that the CBN in the past has been involved in a lot of financial support to several sectors. I think the current government felt that for us to move forward, they need to investigate.
