He said that Digital payment channels also helped to support continued conduct of business activities during the lockdown.

He said the banking sector robust payment system had continued to evolve towards meeting the needs of households and businesses in Nigeria, reflective of the confidence in our payment system, between 2015 and September 2021, about $900m has been invested in firms run by Nigerian founders.

“Notwithstanding these gains, close to 36 percent of adult Nigerians do not have access to financial services.

“ Improving access to finance for individuals and businesses through digital channels can help to improve financial inclusion, lower the cost of transactions, and increase the flow of credit to households and businesses,’’ he stressed.
