The Annual Banking & Finance Conference 2018 theme: “Sustaining the Momentum in the Financial Inclusion Agenda” couldn’t be timelier. The 2016 edition was held in Ghana and the 2018 edition in Nigeria will be a continuation of the discussions and a preview of the implementation strides made thus far, as we continue to push the Financial Inclusion agenda in the continent.

Banking and financial services must seek ways to increase their mass and tap into the financially excluded population (which is more than 60 percent). The agenda to deliver financial services to those that banks have traditionally not reached should now more than ever be at the top of corporate growth strategy.
