To transform the Nigerian economy and improve the constantly declining value of the naira, the Central Bank Governor is planning to partner with major stakeholders.
Most of the world nations thriving economically learnt one thing or two from other countries which they adapted to their economy.
So, Nigeria will do well to learn and adapt new ideas that can move the economy forward.
The Nigerian economy has suffered serious setbacks due to corruption, inflation, a high rising exchange rate, and devalued naira among other things.
Let us not forget that naira scarcity and unnecessary borrowings from international financial agencies also contributed to this problem.
However, Nigerians keep looking to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), for a miracle that will lead to a rise in the nation’s economic trajectory.

Meanwhile, the proactive stance of the CBN in addressing the backlog of foreign-exchange contracts, estimated at around $2.2 billion, is commendable.
