The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, is yet to appear before the House of Representatives, on Thursday, over the recent policies by the apex bank.
The Deputy Governor, Corporate Services, CBN, Edward Adamu, in a communication to the House, told the lawmakers that Emefiele was part of the entourage of President Muhammadu Buhari on an official trip to the United States.
Deputy Speaker of the House, Ahmed Wase, read out the letter to members at the opening of plenary on Thursday.
Adamu said the CBN governor would appear before the House to defend the policy “at the earliest time possible.”
The House had on Thursday last week summoned Emefiele to come and explain the policy to the parliament, considering a joint session with the Senate to grill the CBN governor.
