CBN clarifies job posting
In a statement released on X, the CBN emphasised that the job openings are for all qualified persons from ECOWAS member states.
The statement 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.'

Man resigned from CBN job, relocate abroad
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man, Mojib Olasupo Baruwa, narrated his relocation after he left Nigeria in 2020.
He said he had to resign from his job with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), adding that his friends thought he was out of his mind to have left such a good job.
Olasupo said he had to do that because he wanted to be with his wife and daughter so much. He stated that the relocation was never easy, but he learned a lot.
