He spoke during a virtual event on the upcoming 13th Annual Bankers Conference in September, with the theme ‘Facilitating a sustainable future: The role of banking and finance.’
“In line with the theme, participants will evaluate the role of the banking and finance industry in engendering an inclusive sustainable growth as well as offering a direction on how to reposition the industry for relevance in the new world order, by leveraging on digitalisation to boost Nigeria’s economy,” he said.
