A Federal High Court in Abuja has summoned the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, over a $53 million judgment debt arising from the Paris Club refund.

In his ruling, the presiding Judge, Inyang Ekwo, ordered Emefiele to appear on January 18 as the hearing date for the matter.

The order followed the application by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Joe Agi, against a company, the Minister of Finance and the CBN.

The CBN governor was said to have left an outstanding amount of $53 million having only released $17 million.
