Speaking in Lagos at the 3rd Business Journal Fintech & Financial Inclusion Roundtable 2026, CBN Governor Mr. Olayemi Cardoso stated that Nigeria’s evolving digital financial ecosystem must consistently deliver services that are reliable, secure, fair, and widely accessible.

Cardoso was represented at the event by Dr. Rakiya Yusuf, Director of Payments System Supervision.

Highlighting the apex bank's vision for the sector, Cardoso noted that customers must be empowered to transact with absolute confidence, even during periods of peak market demand.

“Charges should be clear, complaints resolved promptly and failed transactions addressed without unnecessary hardship to customers. Cybersecurity and fraud prevention must remain a shared responsibility; institutions must continually invest in secure technology, effective controls and practical customer education,” the CBN Governor emphasized.

Reinforcing these remarks, Mr. Babatunde Ajiboye, Assistant Director at the CBN, who represented Dr. Yusuf, stressed that maintaining an open and fair competitive landscape is equally vital, ensuring that qualified industry participants retain equal access to essential payment infrastructure.

The apex bank acknowledged that achieving these strategic objectives requires a collaborative multi-stakeholder framework. Banks, fintech firms, mobile money operators, switches, processors, telecommunications companies, consumer advocacy groups, and government bodies all share critical roles in solidifying the ecosystem.

Looking ahead, the CBN expressed profound optimism regarding Nigeria's digital financial future, driven by a young, entrepreneurial, and increasingly connected demographic coupled with strong domestic institutional capacity for innovation.

“We will continue to act where market conduct, concentration, weak governance or operational risks threaten customers or the stability of the system. Our message is simple: innovation is welcome, fair competition is essential and public trust must remain at the centre of everything we do,” the CBN assured.

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.
