President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has approved the takeover of the management and control of the National Economic Reconstruction Fund (NERFUND) by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC).

The decision to take over the Fund followed the president’s approval of the recommendations of the CBN and NDIC Joint Special Examination report on the books and affairs of the Fund.
