The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Olayemi Cardoso, has described his job as the second most difficult in the world, after that of the Pope.
He made this remark at the 2024 First Plenary Assembly of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), which he also presided over, on Sunday.
Cardoso praised the Federal Government for its reform initiatives, which he said have yielded positive results for the Nigerian economy.
He cited the recent influx of foreign investment into the Nigerian markets, which amounted to $1.8bn in the last week, according to the CBN reports.
He said this was an indication of the growing confidence of the international community in Nigeria’s economic prospects.
“I will continue to remember that in spite of (my job) the second most difficult job on the face of the planet, this is really something that remains very memorable.
“As a result of some of the recent reports from the CBN, over the course of the last week, about $1.8bn came into the markets.
“As long as the country can sustain a positive trajectory, Nigeria will get out of its economic woes and the foreign exchange market will begin to moderate itself.” he said.
