The signature of a woman, Priscilla Ekwere Eleje, goes on the naira, For the very first time in Nigeria’s 59-year history, TheCable has reported.
Eleje, who has been acting director of currency and operations at
the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has been confirmed substantive
director.
She is the first female director of currency in the history of the
bank, and her signature has been appended on the naira — breaking
another glass ceiling.
Ladi Kwali, Nigeria’s foremost potter, is the only woman on the naira, taking a spot at the back of the N20 note.
Every naira note in the country’s history has the face, name and signature of a man, up until now.
Insiders at CBN told TheCable that the Godwin Emefiele, the
governor of the bank, has been working to ensure more women come to the
table.
