The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) has praised Senator Adetokunbo Abiru, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions, for his significant role in driving economic growth initiatives.

President and Chairman of Council of CIBN, Dr. Ken Opara, disclosed this recently when he led a team from the institute on a dialogue with the leadership and members of the committee.

Opara commended the committee for the support it is giving to the institute towards the review of Extant Laws in the financial sector. He said the team’s visit was meant to seek the Senator’s assistance in the passage of the proposed CIBN Act Bill and share thoughts on key issues and initiatives affecting the banking and finance industry. 

In a statement by CIBN, Opara said: “We commend the Institute for being sensitive to the economic situation which necessitated your invitation of the Governor of CBN for a brief over the state of the economy. The engagements you had and the issues you raised such as Inflation, FX, IMTO and the clarification on the 43 banned items are all issues of interest to the banking public.
