North East Tops List of Zones ever-produced CBN Governors in Nigeria History
Nigeria is a State, often, regarded as a nation with multifaceted ethnic groups and religions. These should be factored out whenever division of political and administrative positions are concerned as entrenched in Chapter II, Section 14, Subsection 3 and 4 of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended which reads here. But none of these may be said are usually considered when it is time to select a person for a post.
Since 1963 — 2023, North-East part of Nigeria leads the region that produced the Central Bank of Nigeria Governors with three while South South, South West and South East, two each. Only North Central and North West had one, each.
Unlike others, North Central has been marginalised since 1963 in Nigeria. It is the only zone that has not produced CBN governor that stay long in office. Last time it did, it was Sarah Alade who spent barely five months in office.
