EFInA to Launch A2F 2026 Survey Report in Abuja

Enhancing Financial Inclusion and Advancement (EFInA) is set to release the findings of the ninth Access to Financial Services in Nigeria (A2F) Survey at an official launch event on 16 September 2026 in Abuja, Nigeria. The A2F Survey, conducted biennially since 2008, serves as Nigeria’s most comprehensive source of demand-side data on financial inclusion, tracking the use of formal and informal financial services by Nigerians.

The 2026 edition follows previous rounds from 2008 to 2023, providing over 17 years of longitudinal data. The survey captures both financial and non-financial data, aiding various stakeholders, including the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other regulatory bodies, in policy formulation.

Foyinsolami Akinjayeju, CEO of EFInA, emphasized the survey's role in providing evidence for economic infrastructure. The 2026 round will focus on economic outcomes, financial health, and resilience, while also offering state-level data for more targeted policy design.

Dr Oluwatomi Eromosele, EFInA’s Research Lead, noted the survey's evolution to address previous gaps in understanding financial service effectiveness.
