# Tinubu appoints Yemi Cardoso as CBN governor

Date: 2023

## The fact

In 2023 [Tinubu](/people/econ-actor-bola-tinubu) appointed Yemi Cardoso as Central Bank governor after the Emefiele era, tightening policy and backing the float. Later FX-gap close is a child print.

## Context

Naira 14 June sat as parent weather. Neighbouring FX-gap is a child. He did not sit as MPC.

Naira 14 June is the parent. FX-gap 2024 is a child.

The President of Nigeria heads the federal executive, assents to bills, and sets CBN weather through appointments. He does not write an NNPCL pump print, a World Bank poverty line, an INEC certificate, or a state governor’s FAAC spend by himself. A 2027 ballot is not this page’s completed Fact. Chicago-State certificate weather remains allegation unless a court so holds on its own row.

## Evidence and sources

State House Nigeria carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [fiscal-policy sustainability](/drivers/fiscal-policy-sustainability): a completed CBN-head reset after Ways and Means.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 2023 [Cardoso](/people/olayemi-cardoso) appointment, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later CPI coefficient from that week, or that Emefiele uniquely authored every naira.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

CBN MPC sets rates. Emefiele-era stock is the parent.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Tinubu appoints Yemi Cardoso as CBN governor, not a later speech about Tinubu appoints Yemi Cardoso as CBN governor.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Tinubu appoints Yemi Cardoso as CBN governor on 2023-10-03 is not a licence to treat every later State House Nigeria communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Tinubu appoints Yemi Cardoso as CBN governor into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He appointed. CBN MPC sets rates. Emefiele-era stock is the parent. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
