The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been committed to improving financial inclusion for a long time and in 2012 adopted the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) for Nigeria. As part of the monitoring plan for the strategy, a review and refresh was conducted in 2017-18 by Dalberg Advisors.
I supported the Dalberg Advisors team to identify the most appropriate comparative ecosystems for Nigeria on key financial inclusion metrics, and then develop a matrix of indicators and targets for financial inclusion in 2020. Key insights and recommendations were then presented to 12th National Financial Inclusion Technical Committee meeting in Nigeria.
