      <video:description><![CDATA[Nigeria’s banking industry’s credit profile remains broadly stable, supported by stronger capitalisation, resilient liquidity and improved foreign-exchange conditions. Intelligence Africa says the CBN’s recapitalisation programme has strengthened banks’ loss-absorption capacity and increased their capacity to lend, although elevated operating costs and asset-quality risks remain key constraints. Jumoke Olusoga, Head of Strategy at Intelligence Africa, joins CNBC Africa to discuss the outlook for the sector. ]]></video:description>
