The Central Bank of Nigeria will, today, Monday December 2,2024, launch its new website, the apex bank’s acting Director of Corporate Communications, Sidi Ali, has announced in a press statement.
The new website, Ali said, will become operational today, 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,” he said. ”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.”
Recall that the Central Bank Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, had, at a special summit dinner at the 30th Nigerian Economic Summit in October, disclosed that the bank was doing a comprehensive revamp of its website and would soon launch it to boost transparency and accountability.
Cardoso, at the event, had also revealed that redesigned website will provide a more user-friendly experience and greater access to information, ultimately supporting its commitment to transparency, and accountability and building trust with its stakeholders.
“Information is something that we are ensuring to improve on at the Central Bank,” he continued. “We are bringing out activities that are closer to the people. We put out the information and we allow people to have a line of sight and have an idea of where they are going and how far we expect 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.”
