The Roundtable presents a unique convergence of regulators, top executives and stakeholder groups from the banking, capital market, fintech, telecom, insurance, media community and the general public.
It will naturally explore the convergence of banking, telecom and insurance in terms of financial inclusion, evaluate the opportunities and challenges of fintechs and financial inclusion in Nigeria and to project the future of the two financial concepts going forward.
