The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele met behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Thursday.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Mr Emefiele did not speak to journalists after the closed door meeting with President Buhari.
However, it was gathered that the CBN Governor briefed the president on the activities of the CBN since the introduction of the redesigned 200, 500 and 1000 Naira notes.
Emefiele is believed to have presidential backing on the Naira notes redesign and withdrawal limit policy introduced by the apex bank in December 2022.
The CBN Governor had earlier attended a meeting between Buhair and the visiting Director General of the Arab Bank for Economic Development, Dr Sid Ould Tah, at the State House, Abuja.
TNG reports Emefiele’s visit to the Presidential Villa was the first since he resumed work at the CBN after embarking on annual leave in December.
It was speculated that the CBN governor travelled out of the country amidst fears he would be apprehended by operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) over several allegations against him, including terrorism financing.
However, the DSS dismissed such allegations, including online reports that its operatives on Monday invaded the headquarters of the CBN and took over the office of the governor of the apex bank.
