There are indications that Olayemi Cardoso has commenced what is being seen as subtle cleansing at the apex bank with the disengagement of some of the directors.
BusinessDay understands that some of the directors who were asked to go worked under the embattled Godwin Emefiele former CBN governor.
A source close to one of the directors who did not want to be mentioned said the termination was even an outright sack not retirement as many would expect.
The disengagement, which began last Friday has sent shivers at the apex bank as staff worry over heightened uncertainty in the system at the moment.
“What was written in their letters is termination not really retirement.
There were earlier reports that at least eight directors at the bank would be mandated to proceed on early retirement this week.
It would be recalled that Cardoso late last year redeployed some of the directors to the FSS 2020 unit of the bank which is under the Governor’s purview but has its office located in the Maitama District – one of the high brow areas in Abuja.
