The Senate passed them after the consideration of two similar bills sponsored by Sunday Karimi, the lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial District and Darlington Nwokocha, lawmaker representing Abia Central Senatorial District.
Both senators equally proposed that the Auditor-General of the Federation, Chairmen of the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Nigeria be represented on the board of the CBN.
The Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, gave the Senate Committee on Banking and Finance two weeks to report back on the CBN Amendment Bill.
