The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Olayemi Cardoso has said the bank will no longer grant Ways and Means to the federal government unless the outstanding balance is settled.

Me Cardoso also announced measures the bank was taking to tame the rising inflation in the country which has led to an astronomical increase in the prices of goods and services.

He disclosed these on Friday when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institutions alongside the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Olawale Edun, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Atiku Bagudu and the Minister of Agriculture, Abubakar Kyari.
