The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been
rated top on transparency, accountability and due process in her operations
according to a 2020 poll conducted by the Mahatma Ghandi Peace Foundation in
collaboration with The Winston Churchill Centre For Investigative Journalism.
About 453 federal government departments,
agencies and parastatals were part of the poll, a joint press statement signed
by the country director of Mahatma Ghandi Peace Foundation Nigeria, Bishop Abel
Kings and and Richard Oduma of the Winston Churchill Centre For Investigative
Journalism has said.
The organisations extolled the due process
mechanism put in place by the management of the Central Bank of Nigeria stating
that as foreign organisations, their focus was to promote and instill probity
and accountability virtues in government agencies hence the polls.
It further stated that they were satisfied with
the nation’s apex bank thorough internal mechanisms put in place to minimize
fraud and abuse of internal processes.
The two groups also called on other agencies of
government to focus on instilling the values of transparency and due process as
championed by the CBN. Every Nigerian has a responsibility to ask questions in
the affairs of this country, and only transparency can guarantee those
obligations.
