Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, will lead the nation’s delegation to the prestigious World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) Annual Meeting, kicking off in Washington DC on Monday, October 13. Stepping in for the indisposed Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, Cardoso takes on the role of alternate Governor, carrying the hopes of a nation eager to make its mark on the global economic stage.
Joining Cardoso is the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anete, as part of a team poised to engage in critical discussions shaping international development and financial stability.
The annual gathering, a cornerstone of global economic dialogue, will see Nigeria’s representatives participate in key sessions, including the Development Committee Plenary on October 16 and the International Monetary and Financial Committee meetings on October 17.
The World Bank highlights that the meetings will feature a range of events, from regional briefings to press conferences and forums tackling pressing issues in the global economy, financial markets, and sustainable development.
For Nigeria, this is an opportunity to showcase its economic vision, address challenges, and forge partnerships that could drive growth and stability back home.
As Cardoso leads the delegation, Nigerians await outcomes that could influence the nation’s economic trajectory, from securing support for critical reforms to amplifying Nigeria’s voice in global financial conversations. The stakes are high, but so is the determination to represent the aspirations of millions.
