Also speaking, Mr Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lamented the drop in oil prices, which he said had drastically affected the Country’s economy. ” There is therefore need for diversification as the only alternative.” Emefiele said there was need for synergy among all stakeholders to actualise the initiative.
