Nwanisobi said the governor resumed duty ahead of the first Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) scheduled later this month.
“The governor resumed with renewed vigour to perform his duty ahead of the first Monetary Policy Committee, MPC, meeting of the year scheduled for January 23 to 24, 2023.
“Mr Emefiele remains committed to performing the task before him in line with his oath of office and the policy direction of President Muhammadu Buhari,” Mr Nwanisobi said.
While thanking the public for keeping faith with the bank, the apex bank urges Nigerians to continue to support the policies of the bank aimed at ensuring a stable financial system and the Nigerian economy in general.
Recall Mr Emefiele proceeded on leave in December 2022.
Meanwhile, earlier in the day, there were reports that operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) invaded the premises of the CBN and arrested the governor but spokesperson of the security agency in a press statement had denied the report.
