Financial Inclusion Redefined
Nigeria’s fast-growing economy, vibrant tech sector, and young population make it a key player in Africa’s digital future. Yet 40% of adults remain outside the formal banking system, with gaps in mobile money adoption, device access, and digital literacy.
As the first stop on The Next 3 Billion Tour, this session will explore how Nigeria’s fintech innovation, evolving regulations, and entrepreneurial energy can drive financial inclusion and open new pathways for equitable growth.
