Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Olayemi Cardoso receives the “Central Bank of the Year” award at the Central Banking Awards ceremony in London, according to reports from Vanguard and Premium Times. Both outlets say the award is presented by Central Banking Publications as part of the ceremony, and that Cardoso publicly thanks the publication and the award judges for the recognition. Vanguard reports that Cardoso dedicates the honour in part to people within the CBN, while Premium Times adds that he dedicates the award to the CBN board, management and staff, citing their ongoing involvement in institutional reforms and efforts to maintain economic stability. The two sources describe the same event and similarly frame Cardoso’s remarks as appreciation for the recognition and a dedication of the award to CBN leadership and staff. Neither report provides further detail on the specific criteria used for the award or on additional winners in the ceremony.
