The governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, has reiterated the bank's commitment to promote intellectual participation and policy -promoted solutions.
Mr. Cardoso made this comment while organizing a delegation of academics from the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) as part of his walk in Africa, which included visits to Ghana and Nigeria.
The visit of academics to CBN headquarters in Abuja gathered 50 students from 19 countries, including HKS representatives, Harvard Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University.
As former HKS student and the first African chosen for the Global Board of Directors of Hks students, as well as an administrator of the Harvard Club de Nigeria and the Association of Forces students of the Harvard Kennedy School in Nigeria (HKSAAN), Mr. Cardoso emphasized the value of exchanging ideas and associations promoted to strengthen the confidence and understanding of the financial system of Nigeria.
“As we restart the bank, we are committed to being a center for the leadership of thought. The exhibition he obtains from institutions such as Harvard is invaluable, and we see this as an opportunity to build long -term alliances,” he said.
When heading to Nigeria's economic panorama, Mr. Cardoso acknowledged the recent challenges, but highlighted the progress in the stabilization of the currency market and braking inflation.
He also pointed out recent visits from the senior executives of JP Morgan, Citi Bank, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as indicators of the growing confidence of investors in Nigeria's economic trajectory.
“These are individuals who base their decisions on data and trends, not on feeling. His interest reaffirms that we are on the right path,” he added.
In her comments, Mrs. Adaora Ndukwe, president of HKSAan, and Mrs. Sheffy Kolad, the leader of the HKS delegation Nigeria Trek, expressed her gratitude to the CBN for organizing the delegation.
They praised the bank's commitment to participate with futures political leaders and provide invaluable first -hand information about Nigeria's evolutionary economic landscape.
