Dr Bayo Olugbemi, President and Chairman of Council, Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) stated this on Thursday at the official inauguration of ‘The CIBN Bankers Hall’ at The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Olugbemi said it was not only the Nigerian economy that is in tumult.

He said: “All over the world, there is a problem with the economies, with COVID-19 that is just abating.

“Unfortunately, Nigeria is the worst hit probably because of our mono economy, meaning we have only one major revenue earning which is petroleum products.

“And of course world pricing is a function of what the refined products would be. And as we know because of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the dollar price of oil is going up and definitely it has to affect the final products.

“Unfortunately, we are not refining in Nigeria. We have to import using dollars and that is the reason why the government is giving subsidies; but for me as a person, as an economist, a banker and a financial expert in the long run, the best would be to diversify the economy and deregulate.

“There shouldn’t be anything called subsidy because at the end of the day, it doesn’t percolate to you and I. The people at the top are the ones enjoying it.

“Government has no business with subsidies in the long run, it should deregulate the economy fully and ensure there are modular refineries.”

The CIBN president, said the project being carried out in the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria represents the modest contribution of the institute to the development of banking and finance education in Nigeria.

“The Institute is mindful of the fact that government alone may not be able to provide all the funding required to provide quality education especially at tertiary level.

“Revamping the educational system in Nigeria is therefore a collective responsibility and we all must play our role,”Olugbemi said.

Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, represented by Mr Rahman Abdu-Raheem, the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, said the present administration had been leveraging on partnership to revamp the education sector.

While appreciating CIBN for the smart building said, “the building will facilitate improved academic learning as it will complement the existing ones.”

Dr Seye Awojobi, the Registrar of CIBN, also charged the management, staff and students of the institution to make judicious use of the building and ensure that the state-of-the-art facilities provided are well maintained.

He noted that the 150-seater capacity building with free WiFi would facilitate training of professions in the banking sector.

In his address, Prof. Kazeem Adebiyi, Rector of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, pledged that the building and its facilities will be maintained while asking for more intervention from CIBN to the institution.
