The President stated this in a statement released through the Director of Information in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), Willie Bassey.

Emefiele was suspended by the President as part of the plan for reforms in the financial sector of the economy and to give room to investigate him.

He directed Emefiele to hand over the affairs of CBN to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate) pending the investigation.
