According to Dr. Aminu Maida, executive-vice chairman of the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), Nigeria’s growing mobile connection and dynamic youth population create the perfect conditions for the financial technology (Fintech) sector to flourish.
Speaking at the book’s launch in Ogwa, Maida emphasized the tremendous potential of fintech for promoting financial inclusion, economic growth, and social progress in Nigeria. The book, “Digital Economy and the Prospect of Financial Technology in Nigeria,” was written by Engr. Dipo Fisho in partnership with Glorious Vision University (GVU).
Engr. Kunle Olorundare, who was Maida’s representative at the book launch, highlighted Fisho’s contributions to the industry and called the book a pertinent examination of Nigeria’s changing digital environment.
He stated that at a time when Nigeria is attempting to fully realize the promise of its digital economy, the book—a compilation of perceptive essays, articles, and reports—explores important subjects.
Dr. D. C. Onyejiuwa, head of GVU’s Department of Economics, recognized Fisho’s contribution to growth and information sharing and praised his outstanding influence on academia and the Fintech community.
In his opening remarks, Fisho thanked all of the contributors and emphasized the value of cooperation and teamwork in reaching important milestones. He also said that the book is a monument to the dedication and competence of all those involved.
Prominent figures attended the event, including GVU acting vice chancellor Prof. E. S. Asemah, high chief Eniola Fayose, and other dignitaries.
This 25-chapter book, which also acts as a festschrift for Dipo Fisho, provides answers and perspectives on the problems that Nigerian fintech companies face.
