Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Olayemi Cardoso, has been named Central Bank Governor of the Year at the 2025 African Banker Awards Gala, held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

The award, which took place on Wednesday, was presented by African Banker magazine, in recognition of Cardoso’s “bold and strategic” leadership in steering monetary and regulatory reforms that have restored stability and confidence in Nigeria’s financial system, according to event organizers.

In a statement, the Awards Committee praised the Central Bank of Nigeria under Cardoso for implementing key policy measures aimed at stabilising the naira, improving transparency in the foreign exchange market, and re-establishing policy credibility.

The Committee noted that these efforts have laid the groundwork for long-term macroeconomic resilience and renewed investor confidence.

Dr. Nkiru Balonwu, Adviser to the Governor on Stakeholder Engagement and Strategic Communication, accepted the award on his behalf.

She was accompanied on stage by the Bank’s Director, Monetary Policy Department, Dr. Victor Oboh, and the Director of the Banking Supervision Department, Dr. Olubukola Akinwumi.

They were later ed by a member of the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), Dr. Aloysius Uche Ordu.

“The award reflects the Committee’s recognition of Governor Cardoso’s recent achievements and the Central Bank’s critical role in addressing market imbalances and repositioning the Nigerian economy for sustainable growth,” the organisers said.

Now in its 19th year, the African Banker Awards are organised by African Banker magazine with the African Development Bank Group as its official patron.

The annual event draws senior figures from government, banking, and development finance institutions across the continent to celebrate excellence in African finance.

How is unifying the value of naira a poor policy?, how many countries operate five to six multiple exchange rate windows?. Did you go to school?.
As a matter of fact, Cardoso had not been appointed when the President through the then acting CBN Governor devalued the currency. Cardoso came in to meet the policy already in place and then stabilized the system through various guidelines. You guys are just social media noisemakers, nothing upstairs.

You sound ridiculous.
So N1600 to $1 is an achievement. When he met it at N438 to $1.

what did the morrocan governor do?
Cardosso is arguably the best, he stirred the CBN in the midst of economic crisis, fuel subsidy removal and unification of the exchange rate.

Cardosso build his empire on chaos while others built on comfort
