Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Emir of Kano, Mohammadu Sanusi has explained why he was sacked from his position as Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, governor and Emir of Kano.<\/p>\n

Sanusi explained that his attitude of speaking the truth to those in power cost him his positions.<\/p>\n

The former CBN governor disclosed this while speaking at the closing ceremony of the AIG Public Leadership Programme Class of 2021, in Abuja, yesterday.<\/p>\n

According to Sanusi, he has \u201calways stood to speak the truth to power, reason I was removed as CBN governor and Emir of Kano, but that did not stop me from doing what I see as the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

He lamented that Civil Servants have traded their conscience for personal gains.<\/p>\n

Stressing that civil servants no longer perform their duties creditably, Sanusi said: \u201cover 80 per cent of them have lost their conscience for personal gains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also speaking, the Chairman and Co-founder of Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede said the foundation spent \u00a3563,000 in training 49 top civil servants for the Public Leaders\u2019 Programme Class of 2021.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that having partnered with the University of Oxford\u2019s Blavatnik School of Government, the foundation drew top executives as beneficiaries from across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).<\/p>\n
