We Are Not To Blame for Economic Woes-Central Bank Governor

Cardoso, who assumed office in September 2023, emphasized that he and his team are committed to resolving the current fiscal difficulties. He clarified that the current management inherited the responsibility during a period of widespread lack of confidence.

Asserting their determination to navigate Nigeria’s economic challenges, Cardoso stated, “We are not responsible for the woes that we have today; we are part of the solution.” He highlighted ongoing efforts by the CBN to restore fiscal and monetary stability, noting that initial progress is evident.
