The Central Bank of Nigeria has announced that it will officially launch its redesigned website today, December 2, 2024.
In a statement signed on Sunday by the acting Director of Corporate Communications, Sidi Ali, the bank said the new website will become operational today.
The statement reads, “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. We are pleased to announce that the front-end design and back-end technology were created in-house.
“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.”
At the 30th Nigerian Economic Summit held in October 2024, CBN Olayemi Cardoso highlighted plans to launch a fully revamped version of the CBN’s website.
This effort aligns with the bank’s goal of enhancing transparency, accountability, and trust among its stakeholders.
Cardoso explained that the redesigned website would offer a more user-friendly interface and better access to critical information about the bank’s policies and operations.
He said, “Information is something we are ensuring to improve at the Central Bank. We are bringing out activities that are closer to the people. We put out the information and allowed people to have a line of sight and an idea of where they were going and how far we expected to continue from that particular point.
“Our website is about to be significantly overhauled. Very shortly, we will see a new website. And that’s all headed in the direction of transparency and openness.”
