The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has reportedly sacked more 40 members of staff.
This is in furtherance of its ongoing restructuring.
Details of those affected is sketchy but, an Assistant Director of the CBN, heading the National Collateral Registry (NCR) was affected.
NCR is an initiative of CBN aimed at improving access to finance particularly for Nano Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) leveraging movable assets.
Deputy directors and assistant directors were mostly affected with 22 from the DFD and the remaining 18 from Medicals and Procurement Services Department.
Recall that not less than 27 members of staff, most of them directors at the CBN, were affected by the first batch of dismissals, even as more are set to be axed in the coming days.
Amongst those affected were eight directors, 10 deputy directors, five assistant directors, two principal managers and two senior managers.
With the latest action, the number of staff sacked in recent time has reached 67.
