Central Bank: definition, structure and functions

The Central Bank is the apex monetary authority in Nigeria, responsible for issuing currency, regulating the money supply, and supervising the banking system. Its structure—Board, Executive, and various departments—ensures policy implementation, while its functions—monetary policy, lender of last resort, and financial stability—are critical for exam success.
