Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) , Olayemi Cardoso, has said the apex bank is making steady progress in stabilising the foreign exchange market and tackling inflation.
According to a press statement by the CBN on Tuesday, Cardoso stated this when he received a delegation of scholars from the Harvard Kennedy School at the CBN headquarters in Abuja.
The visit was part of the scholars’ Africa Trek, which also included stops in Ghana.
The delegation comprised 50 students from 19 countries, including representatives from the Harvard Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University
It marked the first time a Harvard Africa Trek delegation would visit the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Addressing the delegation, Cardoso, an alumnus of the Harvard Kennedy School and the first African elected to the global HKS Alumni Board of Directors, said the Bank remained committed to fostering intellectual engagement and driving policy-oriented solutions.
“As we reset the Bank, we are committed to being a hub for thought leadership. The exposure you gain from institutions like Harvard is invaluable, and we see this as an opportunity to build long-term alliances,” he said.
