Former-Central Bank Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has endorsed relocating some CBN departments from Abuja to Lagos. Sanusi called the move sensible for streamlining operations and reducing costs.
Despite criticism from some northern politicians, Sanusi dismissed opposition as political games. He emphasized that the relocation is strategic, aiming to improve efficiency.
Sanusi had considered a similar move during his term, proposing moving certain functions to Lagos. He urged the current governor not to succumb to political pressure and advised considering individual situations for a considerate relocation process.
In the face of potential ethnic and religious backlash, Sanusi encouraged the CBN to focus on the principled decision, saying tough choices are essential for the institution's progress.
