The Publisher of SUPERNEWS Nigeria, Ngozi Onyeakusi said: “For any nation to achieve its goal of eliminating extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity through financial inclusion, there is the need for it to adopt Financial Technology (Fintech). Fintech is invariably impacting positively on every aspect of our lives, ranging from payment for services rendered, merchant activities, lending platforms, banking services, wealth or finance management, mobilisation of funds amongst others. There is no doubt that the emergence of Fintech is a direct product of the evolution of the age of disruptive and digital technology or innovation, offering innovative products and services to consumers and stakeholders across the entire financial ecosystem.”
