Nigerian Banks has been urged\u00a0 to adjust to developments that may arise as a result of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement. This was made by the Ex- Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Professor Charles Soludo.<\/p>\n

Professor Soludo, who is also a member of the Economic Advisory Committee to the President, spoke during the 2019 Nigerian banking sector report launched by Afrivest in Orietal Hotel, Lagos on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n

He said, \u201cWhat kind of banking and financial system do we really need to be able to power the Nigerian and African economy in view of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement?”<\/p>\n

Soludo ask “What should be the next level for the banking industry and how should the banks adjust to the disruptive changes that must all come to able to move the banking sector forward to that level that is able to power Nigeria economy to where we expect in the next five to ten years?<\/p>\n

The member of the Economic Advisory committee to Mr President commended Afrinvest for their consistence, the first of its report was actually made in the 2005, during the banking sector consolidation year.<\/p>

<\/span>\u201cSee how time flies, most of the comparism (data) centered on Africa, gone are those days when we go to an event, where Nigeria is being discussed, and the examples given were China, Singapore etc, but the real key point now is relevant examples now here in Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Soludo therefore charged Afrinvest to always put Nigeria in the right direction. “The country couldn\u2019t be doing things same way and expect different results.” he ended.<\/p>\n
