It is also a recognition that financial inclusion is critical for citizen empowerment in the Nigerian economy. In essence, the development represents strong corporate endorsement of the event.”

Cookey confirmed that discussions are still on-going for more corporate partners to join the list before the day of the event.

The 2nd Business Journal Fintech & Financial Inclusion Roundtable 2025 will build on the great success of the First Roundtable which took place at Radisson Hotel, Ikeja (Lagos) on April 26, 2024.

Why Investors Should Not Ignore Opportunities in Fragile States

Africa is experiencing fewer wars than it did two decades ago but conflict, insecurity and the fragility of states is still a major concern for business. Politically motivated instability can be seen in countries like Burundi, South Sudan, Mali, eastern DRC, Libya and Somalia, while Nigeria and Kenya are dealing with terrorist activities. But American entrepreneur Jake Cusack believes there are “genuine economic opportunities” in these fragile markets. He says companies need to be strategic about what parts of a country they invest in, and whom to partner with, as opposed to writing off an entire country.
