The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced that Nigeria will assume the chairmanship of the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four (G-24) from Argentina effective November 1.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the apex bank said Nigeria would unveil its work programme after due consultations with member countries.
With this transition, Nigeria will succeed Pablo Quirno, Argentina’s Secretary of Finance, as chair of the group.
Speaking on Nigeria’s minister of finance, Wale Edun’s behalf, CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening the influence of the G-24 in promoting inclusive dialogue and global economic reform.
“Our focus will be on sustaining momentum in areas that matter most to our members. We look forward to working with members to advance our shared mission of inclusive growth, equity, and global stability,” Cardoso stated.
“We are determined to ensure that the G-24 continues to be a formidable platform for representing the common interests of emerging and developing economies.”
During the G-24 press briefing on October 14, Cardoso noted that ongoing economic reforms had helped Nigeria reduce its vulnerability to external shocks.
