The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has projected that the Nigerian economy will grow by 3.24 per cent in 2022, in spite of rising inflationary challenges occasioned by global socio-economic events.

Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the CBN Governor, made this known on Monday while presenting a communiqué from the apex bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting.

He said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) also projected the economy to grow at 2.7 per cent, while the Federal Government projected a 4.21 per cent growth.

Emefiele, however, said the MPC was concerned about the impact the global increase in petroleum and other products was having on the Nigerian economy.

“The committee further noted that this has resulted to inflation, and believes that specific actions need to be taken to ensure that this trend does not continue,” he said.

He urged the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to take urgent steps to ensure adequate supply of petroleum products.

The CBN Governor condemned the rate of oil theft recorded in recent times, which had a debilitating impact on government revenue.

He assured that the proposed take off of the Dangote Refinery within the year would help to improve the supply of petroleum products across the country. (NAN)

  1. Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?

    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future
    but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  2. I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but great topic.
    I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more.
    Thanks for excellent information I was looking for this
    info for my mission.

  3. When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added”
    checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.

    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Many thanks!

  4. I like the valuable information you provide on your articles.
    I’ll bookmark your blog and test again here regularly.
    I’m moderately certain I’ll be informed plenty of new stuff right here!
    Best of luck for the next!

  5. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the
    screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to
    do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you
    know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue solved
    soon. Many thanks

  6. After I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and
    from now on whenever a comment is added I recieve 4 emails
    with the same comment. Is there a means you can remove me from that service?

    Kudos!

  7. I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your blog.
    It appears like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as
    well? This may be a problem with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.
    Appreciate it

  8. Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
    My blog addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could
    greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!

  9. Thanks a bunch for sharing this with all of us you actually know what you’re talking about! Bookmarked. Kindly also visit my web site =). We could have a link exchange arrangement between us!

  10. Good V I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs as well as related information ended up being truly easy to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or something, website theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Nice task..

  11. It’s actually a great and useful piece of info. I’m happy that you simply shared this helpful information with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.

  12. Right here is the perfect site for anybody who wants to understand
    this topic. You understand so much its almost
    tough to argue with you (not that I personally would want to…HaHa).
    You definitely put a fresh spin on a subject which has been written about for years.
    Wonderful stuff, just wonderful!

  13. I believe what you posted made a bunch of sense.

    However, what about this? suppose you were to create a killer title?
    I am not suggesting your information is not solid, however suppose you added a post title to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean CBN forecasts 3.24%
    growth in 2022 despite rising inflation – TNT Nigeria is a little
    vanilla. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create
    post headlines to get people interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get readers interested about everything’ve written.
    In my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit more
    interesting.

  14. Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your site. You have some really great posts and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an e-mail if interested. Cheers!
