CBN building economy for everyone to thrive – Cardoso begs for patience

Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Olayemi Cardoso has advised Nigerians against leaving the country (Japa). He assured that the apex bank is building an economy where everybody and business can thrive.

Cardoso gave this advice in a keynote address at the 59th annual Bankers Dinner of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, CIBN, in Lagos.

He said: “It is not a good idea to japa at this stage.

“Two reasons. One, those who may decide they are going to do that, they will sell and get rid of their assets.

“You’ll be doing it for cheap. Predators, who are outside looking for bargains, will come and take it and pocket it, put it in their pocket and wait for the turnaround and sell it away.

“Number two, you want to be part of the solution. You want to be part of the solution, and this is time that we need all hands on them.

“There are opportunities in the market today, which I must say, from my experience over the past year and also for the past six months, a lot of interest from the outside in what is going on in Nigeria

“In taking positions in certain assets, so they see the opportunity, and we, who are here, should be part of the solution for the better things which will come.”

While acknowledging the severe impact of the reforms on Nigerians, Cardoso said the reforms are focused on tackling challenges of today and  on securing the opportunities of tomorrow with the aim of building an economy where everybody thrives.
