President Bola Tinubu has thanked former Chief Executive Officer of Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, Mr. Jim Obazee, for his services as the Special Investigator of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other related entities.
Obazee was appointed on July 28, 2023 to investigate the activities of the CBN under Godwin Emefiele.
A statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, said Tinubu commended Obazee for the dedication and professionalism he exercised in handling the complexities of this critical national assignment.
“Subsequent to the conclusion of the assignment and the submission of a final comprehensive report, and with the winding up of all apparatuses used during the scope of the task which terminated on March 31, 2024, the investigation is formally closed, with all appropriate law enforcement and regulatory agencies already conducting follow-up action.
“The President thanks Mr. Obazee for answering the call of duty while wishing him success in his future endeavours,” Ngelale added.
