In his remarks, Mr. Cardoso expressed gratitude to the Impact Investing Community for coming to the CBN, saying that the group represented a bright future for Nigeria and had the ability to revolutionize the nation’s economy by utilizing the investment opportunities that were present all around the nation.
The head of the regulatory bank also promised to prioritize the primary duty of maintaining price stability.
The head of the CBN promised that the bank would work with the Impact Investing Community to establish frameworks that would encourage investments that would support economic growth, even as he praised the organization’s excellent leadership and efforts to raise awareness and forge partnerships.
Khalifa Sanusi said in his remarks that the bank’s operations had a significant impact on Nigerians’ lives and that many people do not know the impact of a Central Bank’s works until the Central Bank fails.
Sanusi expressed worries about the nation’s inflation rate but urged the CBN’s new leadership to keep up their efforts to lower it because, as he pointed out, it has negatively affected people’s wealth.

The Dangote Group
Limited, DIL, stated over the weekend that the business had already repatriated more than $576,008,672.41 through a number of Nigerian banks.
In addition, Ethiopian Airlines and Dangote Cement Plc have arranged a $111,968,109.38 cash swap, saving the same sum that the Central Bank of Nigeria, or CBN, would have otherwise had to pay.
Dangote reaffirmed its determination and belief in Nigeria in a statement, accusing BUA Group of sponsoring false and misleading news about its approved foreign exchange transactions, which were intended for its pan-African operations. It also noted that President Bola Tinubu’s current government has demonstrated the will and resolve to restart the country’s economy.
“We are not body-shop investors. We believe in Nigeria, and we believe in Africa. We are genuine and authentic about our investments, and we call on all relevant agencies to investigate our FX transactions in the past ten years and make public any infraction noticed or discovered.”
Dangote stated that the projects for which the foreign exchange was used were open to the public and that all of the foreign exchange bought in relation to its African Project Expansion were authentic and completely utilized for their intended purposes.
The company claims that “it is on record that some of these projects were commissioned by top-ranking Nigerian government officials, and in attendance were captains of industry, presidents of the host countries, and chief executives of various banks.”
“The commissioning events of these projects were well documented and covered by both local and international media. There are also print and electronic copies of the commissioning ceremonies as further testimony to the judicious utilization of the funds.”
Dangote went on to say that his enormous pan-African investments will soon result in the repatriation of foreign cash, increase Nigeria’s foreign exchange revenues, and stabilize the foreign exchange market.
