    Priscilla Eleje Makes History as the First Woman to Sign the Nigerian Naira

    Priscilla Ekwere Eleje has made history as the first Nigerian woman to sign the Naira, the country’s currency in its 59-year history. Eleje, who has been acting director of currency and operations at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has been confirmed, substantive director of the apex bank. She is the first female director of currency in the history of the bank, and her signature has been appended on the naira. Priscilla Eleje 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 — save the N20 note — has had the face, name, and signature of a man, up until now.

    Eleje was confirmed on August 30, 2018, and currencies printed afterwards would carry her signature. She is a psychology graduate of the University of Jos, Nigeria and an alumna of the prestigious Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship programme in Banking and Management at Boston University, Massachusetts, USA. She is also a Certified Information System Auditor (CISA).
