CBN Launches Revamped Website to Enhance Transparency
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has unveiled its newly redesigned website, marking a significant step in its commitment to transparency and accessibility.
In a statement issued by Acting Director of Corporate Communications, Sidi Ali, the bank confirmed that the revamped platform, developed entirely in-house, became operational on Monday.
“The bank has developed a contemporary Web API that operates on Microsoft .NET Core 8 (the most recent and stable release) to enhance user experience by speeding up and simplifying the navigation process,” the statement read. “The redesigned website introduces a variety of new content, which encompasses a broader spectrum of information regarding the Bank’s mandate. Additionally, the website is responsive to mobile devices, facilitating navigation across various web browsers and devices.”
The announcement follows an earlier preview by CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso during the 30th Nigerian Economic Summit in October. Cardoso highlighted the website as part of the bank’s broader efforts to bolster transparency, accountability, and trust among stakeholders.
“Our website is about to be significantly overhauled,” Cardoso said at the time. “Very shortly, we will see a new website. And that’s all headed in the direction of transparency and openness.”
The redesigned platform reflects the CBN’s pledge to bring its operations closer to the public by improving access to information and offering a more user-friendly experience. The bank hopes the updated site will better serve as a hub for understanding its mandate and activities.
