Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says the Apex bank will set up an international financial centre at the Eko Atlantic City by the second quarter of 2022 to attract investors.

Emefiele stated this while speaking at the 56th Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) annual bankers’ dinner in Lagos on Friday.

According to him: “Today over US$100 trillion is held by institutional investors in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, most of it invested in low-yielding assets relative to high-yielding opportunities in Nigeria,”

“Working to tap into this pool of funds will require the setup of an investment framework that offers comfort and security to investors seeking to invest in critical sectors of our economy.”

“The international finance centre, when fully operational in the 2nd quarter of 2022, will help to position Nigeria as a key destination for investment in Africa.”
