The industry gathering, centered on the theme “Fintech: Driving the Future of Digital Financial Ecosystem in Nigeria,” convened top regulatory executives, policymakers, and corporate leaders.
The event featured high-level support from major regulatory and financial institutions, including the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), and Stanbic IBTC.
Presenting empirical data from the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIP Data), stakeholders highlighted how Nigeria has engineered one of the world's fastest-scaling digital payment rails:
₦1.07 Quadrillion Total Instant Payment Value: In 2024, total instant payment transaction values reached ₦1.07 quadrillion, reflecting a 73.1% surge compared to the ₦600.36 trillion recorded in 2023.
₦384 Trillion in July 2025 Alone: Single-month processing reached ₦384 trillion, establishing a 12-month trajectory that pushed multi-quadrillion transaction volumes into standard baseline operations.
₦18.78 Trillion PoS Volume (Q1 2026): Point of Sale (PoS) transaction volumes reached ₦18.78 trillion during the first quarter of 2026, a 71.8% year-on-year increase.
Underscoring the need for long-term stability, systemic risk management, and consumer trust, speakers across panels agreed that "the future belongs to ecosystems that innovate responsibly."
Dr. Almona noted that Nigeria’s Fintech unicorns and tech entrepreneurs continue to strengthen the nation's position as Africa's primary digital finance engine. Where legacy banking infrastructure previously faced distribution hurdles in last-mile service delivery, agile Fintech operators stepped in to build resilient, underlying rails that power daily commerce.
By expanding agent banking networks, optimizing real-time payment rails, and integrating millions of previously unbanked citizens, Nigeria's fintech ecosystem continues to demonstrate robust momentum.
The 2026 edition of the Business Journal Roundtable provided a platform for regulatory bodies and private sector leaders to align on balanced compliance frameworks necessary to sustain financial inclusion and bolster Nigeria's broader digital economy.

There was a time when I thought my marriage would end in silence and regret. The distance between us kept growing, and every attempt to fix things only led to more arguments. I felt emotionally drained and ready to give up. Finding Dr. Alaska became a turning point for me. Instead of judgment, I received understanding. Instead of fear, I found hope. Through his guidance and reassurance, the atmosphere in my home gradually improved. My partner reached out, our conversations became calm and meaningful again, and the love we once shared began to grow stronger. Today, we are not just back together we are stronger, wiser, and more connected than before. I am deeply thankful for this second chance and the peace that has been restored in my marriage.

I promised God that I would share my testimony on this website. I had all the signs of STD Virus but I was not too sure as to which one. I did a lot of online research and scared myself straight for a whole week before going to see the nurse. She took one look at my genital part and first said that it could just be the anatomy of my body, then she said it looked like genital warts and that I May have herpes. I was devastated. She gave me some medicine for the herpes and some cream for the warts. I was also tested for every single STD including herpes. I went home and cried searching the web for all sorts of cures for herpes and awaiting my results. I saw a post whereby Dr. Kham cured Herpes and other diseases, I copied his contacts out and added him on WhatsApp. The next day my test result was ready and I confirmed Herpes positive. I told Dr. Kham about my health problems and he assured me of a cure. He prepared his herbal medicine and sent it to me. I took it for 14 days (2 weeks). Before the completion of the 14 days in which I completed the dose, The Blisters and Warts that were on my body were cleared. I went back for a check-up and I was told I'm free from the virus. Dr. Kham cures all types of diseases and viruses with the help of his herbal medicine.
