The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced the launch of its newly redesigned website, which will go live on Monday, December 2, 2024.
This update, which promises enhanced features and functionality, was developed entirely in-house by the Bank’s technology team.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Mrs. Hakama Sidi Ali, Acting Director of Corporate Communications, expressed the Bank’s excitement about the innovation.
She noted: “We are pleased to announce that the front-end design and back-end technology were created in-house.”
The Bank disclosed that “the new website operates on a contemporary Web API built on Microsoft .NET Core 8, the latest stable release. This upgrade is expected to improve user experience significantly by enabling faster and more seamless navigation.”
The revamped platform also introduces a variety of new content aimed at providing a more comprehensive understanding of the Bank’s mandate. Furthermore, it boasts mobile responsiveness, ensuring compatibility with various web browsers and devices for ease of access.
According to the statement, public feedback played a critical role in shaping the redesign.
“The Bank is grateful for the feedback provided by the public, which served as a valuable guide for our redesign endeavours. We are committed to developing and enhancing the website to facilitate communication,” Hakama said.
The CBN also urged the public to stay informed by following its official social media channels, which are now conveniently linked on the website’s homepage.
The launch of the redesigned website aligns with the CBN’s goal of improving transparency and fostering effective communication with stakeholders. Users can explore the new features starting Monday at www.cbn.gov.ng.
