CBN revises tenure limits for bank executives to a maximum of 24 years

By

The Central Bank of Nigeria has revised the tenure of executive directors (ED). Deputy managing directors (DMD), and managing directors (MDs) of Banks and Bank Holding companies.


According to the approved guidelines seen by Nairametrics, the cumulative tenure limit of directors (ED, DMD, MD, and NEDs) on the Board of the same bank is twenty-four (24) years. It was 20 years in the previous regulation.

This is contained in section 3 of the new Corporate Governance Guidelines for Commercial, Merchant, Non-Interest, and Payment Service Banks in Nigeria.

The current guidelines which were issued as a circular take effect August 1, 2023.

Executive Directors: According to Section 3 of the guidelines the tenure of the MD/CEO of a bank shall be in accordance with the terms of engagement with the bank but subject to a maximum period of twelve (12) years.

The guidelines also provide for the tenure of the Deputy Managing Director (DMD) and Executive Director (ED).

It also stated that the tenure of a DMD/ED of a bank shall not exceed a period of twelve (12) years.

However, where an ED becomes a DMD, a cumulative tenure of twelve (12) years applies and shall not be extended.

This means, if an ED who has served for 5 years is made DMD, they only have 7 years left to serve as DMD.

But where a DMD/ED becomes an MD/CEO of the same bank, his/her previous tenure as DMD/ED is not included in computing his/her tenure as MD/CEO.

It, however, stated that this is subject to a cumulative tenure limit of 24 years which was covered in Section 8 of the Guidelines.

Section 8 states that the cumulative tenure limit of directors (ED, DMD, MD, and NEDs) on the Board of the same bank is twenty-four (24) years.

The new guidelines for tenures MDs, DMD, and ED of banks is a change from a recent review conducted on February 24, 2023, under Godwin Emefiele. In that guideline, the tenure of ED, DMD, and MD was subject to a maximum of 10 years.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
