SOUTH-SOUTH BOOSTS NIGERIA’S ECONOMY WITH N34 TRILLION—CIBN PRESIDENT

CIBN President Prof. Pius Olanrewaju reveals the South-South region pumped an impressive N34 trillion into Nigeria’s economy in 2024, not just from oil—but from booming trade, services, and creative industries.

Speaking at the South-South Banking Conference in Calabar, Olanrewaju called for financial innovation and policy support to unlock even more growth, pushing the region beyond being just a resource belt. Cross River’s Governor Otu urged tailored investment in agriculture, aviation, and tourism for real economic diversification, while CBN reps highlighted huge untapped potential waiting to be unlocked.
