Embattled former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Obadiah Mailafia, has announced his resignation from his position as a directing staff of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS).
Mailafia, speaking to Daily Post, said he had to resign because of ongoing killings in Southern Kaduna affecting his people.
“I have resigned from NIPSS. Nobody asked me or pressurized me to resign. I did it on my own.
“I decided that I cannot continue working, with all my good conscience, when my people are continually being killed and genocide is being committed against my people.
“That was the reason I gave, and the management has accepted my resignation,” he added.
He explained that he gave NIPSS one month’s notice from 18th August to 18th September when his resignation will take effect.
Recall that the former CBN Deputy Governor has been grilled twice by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Jos Office over his recent comments on the killings and Boko Haram terrorists.
