To foster economic growth and innovation, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has restated its resolve to empower young Nigerians through youth-friendly credit policies and capacity-building programmes.
CBN Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, pledged the Youth Action Event held in Abuja recently.
Represented by the Deputy Governor, Economic Policy, Muhammad Abdullahi, Cardoso stated that the apex bank will continue to provide young people with the necessary financial tools to succeed, particularly in emerging sectors such as the green economy and digital transformation.
According to him, “We will harness our economic policies to create opportunities for youth to thrive as entrepreneurs, innovators, and key drivers of economic development.
“Initiatives such as youth-friendly credit policies and capacity-building programmes will be enhanced to equip young Nigerians with the tools they need to succeed, especially in emerging sectors like the green economy and digital transformation.”
Cardoso said that Nigerian youths are not just the leaders of tomorrow but key stakeholders in shaping economic policies and transformations today.
