Ladies and Gentlemen

It is with great honour and delight that I welcome you all to the inaugural conference of SUPERNEWS Nigeria, one of the leading news and business online publications in Nigeria.

This conference centres on Fintech and Financial inclusion which holds a great potential for the Nigerian economy and for the financial stability of the country.

The emergence of COVID-19 no doubt projected the need for adoption of Fintech in our daily activities and businesses but not without its attendant challenges.

This Conference with the theme, ‘Imperative of Fintech in Promoting Financial Inclusion in Nigeria’ will among other things highlight and examine the relevance of Fintech in bringing the unbanked and uninsured into the financial system for economic growth.

SUPERNEWS Nigeria’s choice of the theme was aimed at contributing its quota to the financial inclusion target of the Federal Government

This confab is a learning opportunity designed to enhance awareness, deepen understanding of participants on the role of Fintech in rendering banking and insurance services cheaper, faster and conveniently. And I strongly believe that this will be achieved given the erudite speakers assembled here for the purpose.

Let me sincerely appreciate the presence of the Director-General, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Dr Lamido Yuguda, ably represented by the Director, Registration, Exchange, Market Infrastructure and Innovation Department, Mr. Abdulkadir Abbas
The Executive Vice Chairman/CEO, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof Umar Danbatta
