The Central Bank of Nigeria has said the apex bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele will not appear before the House of Representatives tomorrow as scheduled.

It said Emefiele will be represented by the Deputy Governor, Financial System Stability, CBN, Aisha Ahmad.

In the latest letter the House received from the Deputy Governor, Corporate Services, CBN, Edward Adamu, Emefiele was said to be ill and would not appear before the lawmakers in person; the second time, Emefiele failed to appear before the House.

Following the reading of the letter at plenary yesterday, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Idris Wase argued that the representative could be considered if capable.

Following arguments, the lawmakers rescheduled his appearance for Thursday, insisting on suspension of the cash withdrawal limits set by the Apex Bank.
