All is now set for the third quarterly forum of the Nigeria
Information Technology Reporters Association (NITRA) billed for Friday, October
13, 2017, as more industry players in the ICT, banking, and FinTech sectors of the Nigerian economy drum support for the event, reports ITRealms.
The
latest to declare their support for the flagship ICT reporters association quarterly
seminar are Global Accelerex, an effective and secure payment solutions
provider; Yudala, fast rising e-commerce operator and Nigeria’s first ever
composite online and retail chain; and CWG Plc, a total ICT solutions provider.
Others
are three of Nigeria’s leading IT-driven commercial banks namely, Fidelity Bank
Plc, Wema Bank Plc and Zenith Bank Plc.
The
Nigeria Information Technology Reporters Association (NITRA), an umbrella body
for journalists reporting information and communications technology in Nigeria
is organising the third edition of its quarterly forum entitled “Digital
Payment: Prospects and Challenges of a Financially Inclusive Nigeria.”
The
event which holds this Friday at the R-Café Event Centre on Isaac John Street,
GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, will not only highlight the challenges and opportunities in
the FinTech space in Nigeria, but will also provide knowledge and networking
platform that will bring the Nigeria Fintech industry at par with its
counterparts across the globe.
At
the event, the Banking, ICT and FinTech industries will be offered an excellent
opportunity to showcase some of their achievements before the largest gathering
of the sectors players under one roof as well as share their contributions to
Digital Payments in addition to efforts towards actualising financial inclusion
in the country.
Mr.
Austin Okere, Founder/Vice Chairman of CWG Plc, had since accepted to chair the
one-day event.
It
should be noted that digital disruption has been changing how traditional
banking services, payments, and remittances are now offered in the digital
economy, as almost all sectors of financial services are being re-imagined by
non-traditional providers and FinTechs, while the traditional incumbent
providers are reinventing themselves very quickly to understand better, the
puzzle presented by FinTech and how they can leverage on the digital movement.
