CBN Launches Lecture Series on Next Gen Leadership in Monetary Policy
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is set to launch a new lecture series, with Governor Olayemi Cardoso delivering the inaugural lecture on October 3, 2025, at Lagos Business School. The lecture, titled 'Next Generation Leadership in Monetary Policy & Nation Building', will explore how innovative leadership can shape monetary policy to foster macroeconomic stability and drive sustainable growth.
The lecture series marks two years of reform-focused leadership under Governor Cardoso, with a strong emphasis on price stability, institutional transparency, and inclusive financial systems. The CBN, in collaboration with Lagos Business School and the Financial Markets Dealers Association, will jointly organize the 'Governor Lecture' series over the next three years.
Cardoso's approach underscores the importance of linking central banking to broader development goals, safeguarding price stability to protect livelihoods and enable long-term prosperity. He emphasizes the intentional and confident harnessing of innovation, particularly by institutions like the CBN. The CBN's evolving strategy reflects a commitment to transparency, innovation, and inclusive growth, positioning Nigeria as a thought leader on both African and global stages. The CBN's Knowledge Acceleration and Thought Leadership Initiative aims to deepen public understanding of monetary policy and strengthen its transmission across sectors.
The inaugural lecture, titled 'Next Generation Leadership in Monetary Policy & Nation Building', will take place at the Lagos Business School on October 3, 2025.
