The Nigeria Ethnic Youth Leaders Council has commended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, over the apex bank’s 37 intervention programmes intoduced to boost the nation’s economy.
The council, which comprises Arewa Consultative Youth Movement, Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Youth Movement, Niger Delta Youth Council, Oduduwa Youths and Middle Belt Youths, noted the statement credited to the apex bank’s acting Director, Corporate Communications Department, Mr Osita Nwanisobi, that the bank currently has about 37 purpose-drivem interventions.
The Head of Coalition Secretariat and Ohanaeze Secretary General, Nwada Ike Chiamaka, said: “We make bold to say that with these clearly thought out interventions, the nation’s economy is growing fast. We also testify to the fact that some of the interventions such as the Anchor Borrowers Programme, have turned out to be game changers in the lives of the beneficiaries.
“We therefore call on the leadership of the apex bank not to relent in its desire and efforts to reposition the nation’s economy for the benefit of all Nigerians. We urge beneficiaries of these laudable interventions to make good use of them and adhere strictly to their terms and conditions so that others can also benefit.”
