Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, met with the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr Olayemi Cardoso, on Tuesday at the CBN headquarters in Abuja, in what officials described as a significant step towards strengthening the nation’s economic foundations.
The Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Dr Zacch Adedeji, was also present at the meeting.
The high-level session centred on enhancing coordination between monetary and fiscal authorities in order to sustain macroeconomic stability, reinforce investor confidence, and unlock greater private sector growth.
Edun stated that effective alignment of fiscal and monetary policy remains central to consolidating President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda. He noted that such collaboration is essential for containing inflation, ensuring more efficient revenue mobilisation, and expanding credit flows to productive sectors of the economy.
As Nigeria confronts complex global and domestic headwinds, the meeting signalled the government’s determination to pursue a path that secures stability and broad-based prosperity for its citizens.
With a shared vision for economic expansion and coordinated policy actions, officials expressed confidence that Nigeria is positioned to create fresh opportunities for growth and development.
