CBN Sacks 50 Additional Staff

State Correspondent 

Fifty more staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) were sacked on Monday, bringing the number of disengaged staff from the apex bank to 117 in 20 days.

The termination of appointments which cuts across 29 departments effects directors, deputy directors, assistant directors, principal managers, senior managers and lower ranking staff.

The dispatch of the disengagement letters, which started on March 15, has continued every other week with palpable apprehension amongst staff of every cadre as the management has not specified any standard criteria for the decisions, insiders told our correspondent.

Since the commencement of the sacking, officials of the apex bank have refused to comment on the matter.

Like in the previous instances, attempts to get the reaction of the acting Director of Corporate Communication, Hakama Sidi Ali was not successful.

Staff affected by the latest development, who also spoke to the media on the condition of anonymity, said the lack of clarity or justification for the sack has made them conclude that they are victims of personal vendetta by Mr Cardoso and the deputy governors.
