The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, has told investors not to panic, saying the CBN has enough foreign exchange to meet repatriation. He also assured them of the security of their investments in the country despite dwindling revenue from the sale of crude oil globally.

A statement on Sunday from the CBN quoted Emefiele as saying that “investors interested in repatriating their funds from the country were guaranteed to get their money, notwithstanding the drop in the revenue from crude oil.” He said the CBN had put in place policies to ensure an orderly exit for those that might be interested in doing so.

He, however, urged investors to be patient as such repatriations were processed owing to the CBN’s policy of orderly exit of investments. Recalling a similar situation that occurred in 2015 over declining revenue, Emefiele said the CBN was able to settle all commitments in an orderly manner.

He said the foreign exchange available would be devoted to strategic importation or service obligations that were priorities. On the plans of the apex bank to tackle the economic impact of the COVID-19, he said the CBN, in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, was committed to galvanizing the manufacturing sector in a bid to reset the economy.

While disclosing that the CBN had met with the banks, manufacturers in the health sector and the larger manufacturing group, he said the challenge posed by the pandemic necessitated that the fiscal and monetary authorities must work together to moderate the health and economic impact of the COVID-19.

He said the COVID-19 presented Nigeria with an opportunity to reset the economy and as such, there was need for the country to prepare itself to get the manufacturing sector to work, while the banking sector s the economy.

With the revenue drop from crude, Emefiele said Nigeria had no choice but to diversify its economic base.

According to him, the time has come for Nigerians to produce what can be produced in the country and consume what is produced in the country.

Are u kidding me ...who the hell are u trying to lie to ....we have reserve that can't last 6 months ....our biggest reserve earner is almost dead ...n u want investors to come n invest

I don't know why we keep seeking foreign investors ...it this people invest 10 million dollars they would take over 150 million out of the economy ....growth we won't see ....

We need to empower our top importers to look for a way to produce what they import here ...so the money can keep moving round

Infact the only industry that should get attention from government is import substitution or exportable product

But to do this merit must come to play ...n if merit come to play the most hated tribe by the elite would raise ...so that can't be allowed to happen ....

For the growth of everyone let's just separate this country honestly ... everyone would be better ....but the fear that a technological more advanced igbo nation is two dangerous to have as neighbor is another fear ....

Separate sign a none revenge treaty with igbos let everyone go in peace

I'll rather believe my mother is a virgin, than to believe any lies coming from this scam of a Nigerian government.

This is the same way they were shouting that they were prepared for the COVID-19 virus, only for the virus to hit our atmosphere and we began to hear another story
