The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has declared that the systems and policies it developed and enacted respectively have rescued the nation from economic collapse and are steering the economy to benefit every societal group more effectively.
CBN Deputy Governor for Corporate Services, Ms. Emem Usoro, shared this view while noting the bank’s efforts to foster a robust economy aligned with Nigerians’ aspirations. She made these remarks over the weekend in Ikot Akpadem, Mkpat Enin LGA, Akwa Ibom State, following her receipt of an honorary Doctor of Business Administration from Akwa Ibom State University during its combined 9th to 12th convocations.
Usoro highlighted key interventions, such as synchronizing monetary policies with fiscal reforms, which have delivered exchange rate stability, macroeconomic balance, accelerated growth, and an inclusive framework for lasting progress.
She affirmed: “At the Central Bank of Nigeria, we are working hard to build a resilient economy that would support your dreams and make you part of a global economy that is full of immense opportunities. We have developed systems and implemented policies that brought the country back from economic disaster and are positioning the economy to better serve all segments of society. In great synergy with the federal government, we have aligned our monetary policies with its fiscal reforms, which have already achieved exchange rate and macro-economic stability, boosted economic growth and are fostering an inclusive economy for sustainable development.”
The deputy governor pledged ongoing CBN backing for the university’s academic and research initiatives. She advised graduates to stay inquisitive, eager for learning, questioning, and open to fresh ideas. Excellence, she emphasized, stems from preparation, sacrifice, and persistence. She also encouraged female graduates to overcome cultural and societal barriers in chasing their goals.
