Its not a good idea to Japa – Cardoso tells Nigerians
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Olayemi Cardoso, has urged Nigerians, particularly the youth, to reconsider leaving the country.
He emphasized that the apex bank is committed to creating an economy where individuals and businesses can flourish. Cardoso made this appeal during his keynote address at the 59th Annual Bankers Dinner organized by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) in Lagos.
“It is not a good idea to japa at this stage. Two reasons. One, those who may decide they are going to do that, they will sell and get rid of their assets, he said
“You’ll be doing it for cheap. Predators, who are outside looking for bargains, will come and take it and pocket it, put it in their pocket and wait for the turnaround and sell it away.
“Number two, you want to be part of the solution. You want to be part of the solution, and this is time that we need all hands on them,” he said.
