Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, on Tuesday held a high-level strategic meeting with the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Olayemi Cardoso, at the CBN Headquarters in Abuja.
The engagement, their second since June 17, 2025, focused on deepening collaboration between fiscal and monetary authorities to sustain macroeconomic stability, bolster investor confidence, and drive private sector growth.
Also present at the meeting was the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Dr. Zacch Adedeji.
In a statement, the Director of Information and Public Relations at the Ministry of Finance, Mohammed Manga, said Edun reaffirmed that aligning fiscal and monetary policies is central to consolidating President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda.
He stressed that such coordination would ensure inflation is contained, revenues are mobilised efficiently, and credit flows effectively into productive sectors of the economy.
“As the Nigerian economy continues to navigate complex global and domestic challenges, this meeting sends a strong signal of the government’s determination to work towards a more stable and prosperous economic future for all Nigerians,” the statement read.
The ministry added that with coordinated policy efforts and a shared vision for growth, Nigeria is positioned to unlock new opportunities for development and prosperity.
