Relocation of FAAN, CBN to Lagos: Sack Keyamo, Cardoso now – Northern Youths tell Tinubu

The Joint Action Committee of Northern Youth Associations has demanded for the expulsion of Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation, and Yemi Cadoso, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, over the planned relocation of agencies under their supervision.

This was stated in a communiqué published by the group and signed by Murtala Abubakar, convener; Hashim Tom Maiyashi, Director of Public Communication & Strategy; and Latifa Abdussalam, Director of Gender Mobilisation.

It lauded the Northern faction of the Senate while urging senators to pursue the removal of Cardoso and Keyamo.

It advocated against suing the President to overturn the decision, stating that Congress should instead give him a deadline to stop the relocation.

“Given the magnitude of the decisions by the CBN and FAAN that demonstrate the unsuitability of their chief executives to preside over federal institutions, we urge our representatives to demand the immediate removal of the Governor of the CBN and the Minister of Aviation from their positions,” it said.

According to the communiqué, it is not a punitive measure but an urgent step to restore public trust, ensure accountability, and uphold the constitutional integrity of key institutions that significantly influence Nigeria’s economic and administrative landscape.

It said the decisions that impact on the country’s economic and administrative landscape must be made with competence, transparency and adherence to constitutional principles, just as it called on representatives in the National Assembly to exercise their full legislative oversight functions.
