Commenting on the programme, the President, CIBN, Professor Segun Ajibola, was quoted as saying, “The session is expected to x-ray the newly introduced flexible exchange rate regime by the Central Bank of Nigeria, the country’s business environment and peculiarities vis-a-vis other successful countries’ examples under a similar regime.

“This is with a view to leveraging the experiences of other countries for improved business performance and economic growth of the nation.”
