CBN Governor, Olayemi Cardoso who has kept his plan for a new CBN to his chest, would seize the moment at the forthcoming Bankers’ Night, a yearly event organised by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), this weekend to make a bold statement and unveil key policy directions.
Cardoso is expected to examine the macroeconomic direction and outlook for the Nigerian economy at the event where private sector operators look forward to a clue of the CBN’s thinking about the economy.
Cardoso will be addressing bankers and other public and private sector stakeholders at the Annual Bankers’ Dinner-themed ‘The Governor’s Day’ holding in Lagos. It will provide the governor the opportunity to address stakeholders on the economic and financial markets development during the year as well as the economic outlook for the coming year.
The dinner and 60th-anniversary celebration is expected to draw an assembly of over 500 leaders from the banking industry, influential business leaders and senior government officials.
Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima and Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, are expected to join Cardoso at the event – a social event that has emerged as an opportunity to get the CBN boss to speak expensively on policy issues and economic projections in the last few years.
