WHO TOLD YOU?

 Before You Accept Another Limit, Answer the Question. What if one of the biggest obstacles standing between you and your future is something you were told—and never questioned? “You can't.” “You're not ready.” “People like you don't make it.” “It's too late.” “Be realistic.” But here is the question: WHO TOLD YOU? That question is about to become more than a conversation. It is becoming music. EXELLO is preparing to unveil WHO TOLD YOU? — a 12-track album built around questions many people spend their entire lives avoiding. And the countdown has begun. THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER ALBUM WHO TOLD YOU? explores the invisible forces shaping human choices: identity, attention, distraction, comfort, discipline, time, failure, purpose, character, responsibility, legacy and the future. Instead of simply telling listeners what to think, the project asks them to examine why they think the way they do. Who defined your limitations? Who owns your attention?

The Monetary Policy Committee

 The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has increased the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) to 18 per cent from 17.5 per cent.

The CBN governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele said this on Tuesday when he read the communique issued at the end of the 290th meeting of the MPC.



At the last MPC meeting in January, it was increased by 100 basis points, from 16.5 per cent to 17.5 per cent.
According to Emefiele, 10 out of the 12 committee members present at the meeting voted for a moderate rise in the MPR.
He, however, said that all other parameters remained constant.
The Asymmetric Corridor of +100/-500 basis points around the MPR, the Liquidity Ratio of 30 per cent and Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) of 32.5 per cent were thus retained.
According to Emefiele, the committee debated whether to continue the rate hike to further check inflation.
He said that the MPC also considered whether to hold the rate to observe emerging developments and allow for the impact of the last five rate hikes to permeate the economy.
“Loosening in the view of the committee members would undermine gains so far achieved.
“MPC observed the upward risk to price development and expectations of the removal of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) subsidy.
"These, in the view of members, provide a compelling argument for an upward adjustment of policy rate, albeit less aggressively,” he said.
He also said that the apex bank’s naira redesign and cash withdrawal policies had resulted in a sizable reduction in currency outside the banking system.
According to him, that is an indication of improvement in the potency of monetary policy tools of the CBN.
