President Muhammadu Buhari expressing his determination to leave a legacy of inclusive growth through financial inclusion when his tenure ends on May 29, 2023.
This was as the Central Bank of Nigeria set a new target to achieve 95 per cent financial inclusion by 2024 to ensure that every Nigerian has access to financial services.
Consequently, the Federal Government launched a revised National Financial Inclusion Strategy that would provide direction for financial inclusion in Nigeria in the coming years.
However, the World Bank has charged the government to prioritise funding of statistical surveys in the country given the importance of data in national development.
Speaking at the 2022 International Financial Inclusion Conference yesterday in Abuja, the president noted that the government was aware that achieving financial inclusion goals would further boost the economic fortunes of Nigeria, adding that his administration remains committed to providing continuous support to all financial inclusion stakeholders institutions in the public and private sectors.
