  "summary": "United Bank for Africa Plc's Group Managing Director and Chairman of the Body of Bank CEOs in Nigeria, Oliver Alawuba, has called for deliberate policies and stronger public-private collaboration to build a resilient Nigerian economy. Alawuba highlighted the need for resilience to be embedded across national policies, institutions, infrastructure, supply chains, energy systems, and human capital. He commended the Federal Government and Central Bank of Nigeria for their improved fiscal and monetary policy coordination, noting that macroeconomic recovery must translate into broader commercial opportunities and improved living standards for citizens. He also disclosed that 33 banks successfully mobilised N4.65tn during the recent recapitalisation exercise, significantly reinforcing balance-sheet transparency, capital adequacy, and liquidity.",
