Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, on Wednesday held talks with Central Bank Governor Olayemi Cardoso in Abuja, as part of renewed efforts to deepen macroeconomic coordination and restore investor confidence.
The closed-door meeting, hosted at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) headquarters, also included Zacch Adedeji, Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)—a rare alignment of Nigeria’s fiscal, monetary, and revenue authorities.
Although no detailed outcomes were disclosed, the Finance Ministry said discussions focused on aligning policy tools to rein in inflation, boost liquidity, and drive private sector-led growth. It described the meeting as one of the clearest signals yet that the Tinubu administration is moving to close long-standing policy gaps that have undermined Nigeria’s economic resilience.
