CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso Launches Landmark Lecture Series to Inspire Next-Generation Leadership in Monetary Policy

 In a strategic move to deepen public understanding of monetary policy and cultivate the next generation of economic leaders, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Olayemi Cardoso is set to deliver the inaugural edition of the CBN Governor’s Lecture Series at Lagos Business School on Friday, October 3, 2025. The lecture, titled “Next Generation Leadership in Monetary Policy & Nation Building,” marks the beginning of a nationwide initiative designed to bridge the gap between central banking and the everyday experiences of Nigerians.

The event also commemorates the second anniversary of Governor Cardoso’s leadership at the CBN, a period defined by a robust focus on price stability, institutional transparency, and inclusive economic growth.

The Governor’s Lecture Series is a flagship program under the Bank’s broader Knowledge Acceleration and Thought Leadership Initiative. It is structured to promote dialogue between policymakers, financial experts, academics, and students, while fostering innovation, financial literacy, and a more inclusive financial system. Through this initiative, the CBN aims to position Nigeria as a thought leader on both the African and global stages.

Two Years of Transformative Leadership
Since assuming office in September 2023, Governor Cardoso has consistently emphasized linking central banking to citizens’ real-life challenges. Under his stewardship, the CBN has prioritized initiatives that strengthen monetary policy transmission, protect the value of the naira, and enhance public trust in financial institutions.

Reflecting on the Bank’s achievements, Governor Cardoso noted, “Nigeria is at a pivotal moment, where technology, global financial realignments, and the energy of our youthful population are reshaping our economic future. Innovation must be harnessed intentionally and confidently, particularly by institutions like the CBN.”

Connecting Policy, Innovation, and Leadership
The lecture will explore the intersection of monetary policy, national development, and leadership, showcasing how forward-thinking economic strategies can foster resilience, inclusivity, and sustainable growth. It will also highlight the role of technology and innovation in transforming financial systems and improving the lives of Nigerians.

Building the Leaders of Tomorrow
The event is expected to attract policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and students, underscoring the central role of monetary policy in driving economic stability and national progress. The lecture series also serves as a platform to mentor emerging leaders, equipping them with the insights and knowledge to navigate an increasingly complex global financial landscape.

By linking theory to practice, the CBN Governor’s Lecture Series is set to become a landmark event on Nigeria’s economic calendar, promoting informed discourse, actionable insights, and visionary leadership. Through this initiative, Governor Cardoso is not only redefining central banking in Nigeria but also fostering a culture of knowledge-driven economic growth.
