The president, in the letter, said the request for confirmation was in compliance with provisions of section 10, sub-section one of the CBN Establishment Act 2007.

“The Senate is invited to kindly note that Onwudiwe is a replacement for Mr Kalu Eke, due to the unavailability of Eke for the position.

“It is my hope, therefore, that the Senate will consider and confirm in its usual expeditious manner, the appointment of Onwudiwe.

“Please accept the assurances of my highest regards.”
