President Bola Tinubu has commended Mr. Jim Obazee, former Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC), for his services as the Special Investigator of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other related entities.
It was recalled that the President had appointed Obazee on July 28, 2023 to investigate activities of the CBN under embattled former Governor, Godswin Emefiele.
In a statement issued by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity, 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,” the statement partly reads.
