The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in collaboration with financial market dealers, has introduced the Nigerian Overnight Financing Rate (NOFR), a standardized benchmark designed to enhance transparency and strengthen monetary policy transmission.

This was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by the apex bank’s spokesperson, Hakama Sidi Ali.

According to the CBN, the NOFR is expected to improve price discovery and transparency, while promoting consistent pricing of money market instruments across Nigeria’s financial system.

The regulator noted that the new benchmark positions Africa’s most populous country alongside leading global reference rates such as SOFR in the United States, SONIA in the United Kingdom, €STR in the Eurozone, and TONA in Japan.

“It also complements African benchmarks such as JIBAR (South Africa). Following a stakeholder engagement session held on February 27, 2026, where market participants formally adopted the benchmark, and subsequent regulatory approval, NOFR is now in use, with the CBN serving as the benchmark administrator.

“The bank will ensure governance, transparency, and regular publication of the rate,” CBN stated.

Former Argentina striker, Sergio Aguero, has predicted Sunday’s Premier League clash between Manchester City and Arsenal.

The Gunners go into the game six points ahead of City, who have one game in hand.

Aguero has said he is expecting “a strange game” as both Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola are familiar with each other.

However, Aguero has tipped his former club to see off Arsenal, in the top-of-the-table affair.

“It’s a strange game. Both coaches know each other perfectly, they know where to attack and where the opponent is weakest,” Aguero told Stake.

“Sometimes these games have very few goals, sometimes they open up and become a great spectacle for the fans.

“I think City will come out strong in the first 10-15 minutes, accelerate and take control of the ball.

“It could finish 2-0 or 2-1 to City. Hopefully City don’t suffer too much, but if it’s only a one-goal lead I think in the last minutes City will have to suffer a bit.”
