He added that if the new CBN governor supports housing development, it will serve as a multiplier effect on the economy.
Speaking on the fluctuating exchange rate, he drew the attention of the new CBN governor on how it is affecting the prices of building materials in the construction industry.
If the incoming governor of the CBN favours home development, the economy will benefit, according to Adebayo.
Speaking about the changing exchange rate, he called the incoming CBN governor’s attention to how it is hurting the cost of construction supplies.
