| CBN Governor Briefs Buhari Over Forex Crisis by iwaeda(op): 6:29pm On May 04, 2017 |
ABUJA- Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele on Thursday briefed President Muhammadu Buhari over the instability in the country’s foreign exchange market which has continued to impact negatively the value of Naira. Emerging from the presidential wing of the Villa after a closed door meeting, Emefiele told State House correspondents that he updated the president on the efforts being made by the apex bank to stabilize the local currency. The governor stated that the economy was also looking good with the rising price of crude oil which he said was “oscillating between $50 to $55 and $56” per barrel. According to him, the rise in crude oil prices at the international market was a boost to the stability of Naira. The value of the nation’s currency, he noted, is currently hovering between N380 and N385 in the parallel market.

It’s about the fact that at this time we have seen production of crude and increasing export of crude also. The fact that we have seen also crude prices oscillating to between $50 to $55 to $56. It has helped our revenue position and had also provided some ammunition for the Central Bank to defend the currency. “Given what we have right now the fact that the revenues are looking good, the state of the economy is good and I believe that we are going to pull out of the problem in due course” Asked if the intervention of the apex bank which comes by way of injecting more funds into the forex market was sustainable, Emefiele said that it was the responsibility of CBN to ensure that businesses were not stifled on the account of dearth of foreign exchange. “Our responsibility as Central Bank of Nigeria is to do what we are doing at this time. Nigerians or importers, people who need foreign exchange to do businesses need these foreign exchanges to conduct businesses and given the fact that we are able to increase our EFEX revenues, the natural thing to do is to make the foreign exchange available to those who need them to import or to carry Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/cbn-governor-briefs-buhari-forex-crisis |

kenny987:Everything the Governor of Central Bank wanted to tell Buhari was recorded in a phone and played for the President to watch. The President made his response through the same channel. The President and the CBN governor were not together, reason why there were no pictures. |

Emerging from the presidential wing of the Villa after a closed door meeting, Emefiele told State House correspondents that he updated the president on the efforts being made by the apex bank to stabilize the local currency.Closed door meeting with whom? Some recording device of a video call? Then why did he have to come to the villa? Let me assume this is ur idea of sarcasm albeit a badly played one. |
