Nigeria Targets 95% Financial Inclusion with Women Empowerment - CBN Workshop

Nigeria aims for 95% financial inclusion, with a focus on women, in a workshop involving the CBN, NIBSS, NAICOM, NCC, BOI, and other stakeholders. The goal is to bridge the gender gap in financial access and achieve national financial inclusion targets.

Empowering women with digital finance is seen as crucial for poverty reduction, household welfare, and economic growth. Collaboration efforts like PreCEFI and Women's World Banking aim to align national strategies with global standards to accelerate inclusion by designing tailored financial products.

The partnership with SANEF seeks to enhance agent banking, particularly in Northern Nigeria.
