Edun, Cardoso, Adedeji Forge Stronger Policy Alignment To Boost Economy

The minister of Finance and coordinating minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, on Tuesday held a strategic meeting with the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Olayemi Cardoso, at the apex bank’s headquarters in Abuja.

According to a statement issued by Mohammed Manga, the director of information in the ministry of finance, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), also participated in the session.

The meeting, described as a high-level engagement, centred on reinforcing synergy between fiscal and monetary authorities to sustain macroeconomic stability, bolster investor confidence, and stimulate private sector-led growth.
Speaking after the discussions, Edun stressed that policy alignment remains critical to driving President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda.

He noted that stronger cooperation between fiscal and monetary institutions would help contain inflation, improve revenue mobilisation, and ensure effective credit flows to productive sectors of the economy.

Cardoso and Adedeji equally affirmed their commitment to working closely with the finance ministry to address both domestic and external economic headwinds while positioning Nigeria as an attractive investment destination.

Analysts say the move underscores the government’s determination to demonstrate policy coherence as the nation grapples with complex global and local economic challenges.

According to the Ministry of Finance, the joint engagement signals a unified approach to building a stable and prosperous future for Nigerians through coordinated policies and a shared vision for growth.
