Following last week’s advice from the International Monetary (IMF); the World Bank; the Council of State and indeed the Supreme Court, which gave an interim injunction on the deadline, Nigerians expected the apex bank to announce its position.
But it never came, at least, as of the time of press time last night.
CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele was at the State House early yesterday to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari. It was his third visit to the seat of power within eight days.
He shunned reporters thereafter.
The CBN, which promised to issue a statement, kept reporters waiting at its Abuja Headquarters until last night when it became apparent that no statement would be issued.
