The Central Bank of Nigeria has clarified the recruitment rumours amid the controversy noting that the bank is not currently conducting a general recruitment exercise.
The CBN in a remark Dailyeconmy obtained from its website on Wednesday described the information implying that the apex bank is presently conducting a recruitment exercise, following a job vacancy posted on the bank website on Tuesday, August 13 as a ‘misleading’.
The CBN clarified that the job vacancy posted on its website is for the position of Director-General of the West African Monetary Agency and it’s still open to qualified candidates from member countries of the Economic Community of West African States.
The remark reads, “The attention of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been drawn to misleading information suggesting that the Bank is currently conducting a recruitment exercise, following a job vacancy posted on the Bank’s website on Tuesday, August 13, 2024.
“We wish to state unequivocally that the CBN is not presently conducting a general recruitment exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, the job vacancy posted on the Bank’s website is for the position of Director-General of the West African Monetary Agency (WAMA), which is open to eligible candidates from member countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
“Members of the general public, particularly applicants, are also advised to always visit our website (www.cbn.gov.ng) for accurate information on the Bank’s activities.”
Dailyeconomy on Tuesday, August 13, reported that the CBN has reintroduced the publication of several key economic reports to promote more inclusive economic discourse.
