Get Guardian on GoogleThe Association of Corporate Treasurers of Nigeria (ACTN) has said that despite its primary responsibility to safeguard cash, treasurers should strategically deploy it to fuel enterprise expansion.
It said this involves leveraging innovative instruments and insights to protect margins and enhance competitiveness.
The association’s President, Adeyinka Ogunnubi, stated this while reflecting on the economic landscape of 2025 and the projected transition from volatility to stability.
He acknowledged that corporate treasurers faced challenges amid the macroeconomic shifts, including limited access to capital and the need for more sophisticated hedging strategies.
Looking ahead, the ACTN chief stated that the institute would treat treasury leadership as a business function.
This entails embedding treasury more deeply into strategic planning and board-level discussions.
The association, which is defined by its objectives of advancing corporate treasury practices and ethics, capacity building, and mentorship, also advocates for policies that strengthen corporate treasury while inspiring future treasurers.
