The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, has called on Nigerians to reconsider relocating abroad, urging them to stay and contribute to the country’s economic development. Speaking at a recent event in Lagos, Cardoso explained that the CBN is working towards building an economy that benefits every individual, business, and community.

He encouraged Nigerians to remain in the country and help shape its future, stressing that those who stay will be part of the solution in building a stronger economy.
