Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele who was represented by Hussaini Kagara in banking services department of the bank, said the theme of the retreat speaks to the reality on ground, while urging participants to take advantage of the knowledge-based discussions “to know how we can maximise our revenue base.”
He said the participants should come up with ways to block loopholes and ideas to deal with the revenue issues affecting the Nigerian economy. “I urge you to come up with suggestions that can help government manage expenditures,” he said.

Also, the director, funds department at OAGF, Mr Sabo Mohammed said government must adopt fiscal discipline to maintain fiscal positions that are consistent with macroeconomic stability and sustained economic growth. “To this end, it warrants avoiding excessive borrowing and debt accumulation,” he said.

Mohammed said lack of fiscal discipline could lead to a situation where the expenditure of government exceeds receipts, saying, “This will result in borrowing funds to finance the deficits; which may on the long run, lead to a depreciation of the currency and further and escalate inflation in an economy.”
