CBN Deputy Governor Highlights Economic Policies at Convocation

Emem Usoro, the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), delivered a speech during the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th convocation ceremonies at Akwa Ibom State University, held in Ikot Akpaden, Mkpat Enin Local Government Area. She discussed the CBN's policies that have been instrumental in saving Nigeria from economic disaster, particularly through the alignment of monetary and fiscal policies.

Usoro noted that these reforms have led to improved exchange rates, macroeconomic stability, and enhanced economic growth. She emphasized the need for brilliant young minds to contribute to the country's economic trajectory, drawing parallels with countries like Singapore, Japan, and South Korea, which achieved significant economic development without vast mineral resources.

Usoro announced the CBN's commitment to financially support academic research and urged graduates to remain curious and innovative. A total of 6,779 first-degree graduates and 746 postgraduate students were recognized during the ceremonies.
