“Innovation and regulation are not opposing forces; they are twin engines driving Nigeria’s financial evolution. No single player can transform Africa’s digital future alone. True progress comes when innovation, regulation, and partnership move in harmony, creating a financial ecosystem that is resilient, inclusive, and built on trust,” he said.

 

The day’s conversations also featured a dynamic panel session themed “Policy, Innovation, and Partnerships: Aligning for Scalable Growth,” moderated by Obiora Ezika, Business Development Manager at Interswitch. The session brought together industry leaders, including Tunji Ashiru, Vice President, Government Relations and Regulatory Affairs, Interswitch; Adedeji Owonibi, Founder, Convexity Technologies; Tayo Odukoya, Managing Director/CEO, Paysure Technologies; Sula Bello, Founder, ThriveAgric; and Tina Olaore, Head, Digital Banking, Interswitch. Together, they explored how public-private partnerships, forward-thinking regulation, and innovative solutions can drive scalable growth within Nigeria’s payments ecosystem, while deepening financial inclusion and fostering trust across stakeholders.

 

A compelling fireside chat on “The Role of Innovation and Regulation in Shaping the Future Payment Ecosystem” further underscored the importance of synergy between policymakers and innovators in scaling Nigeria’s digital economy and extending financial access to underserved segments.

 

Attendees were also treated to product demo showcases where Interswitch unveiled some of its latest payment and digital solutions designed to enhance efficiency, security, and user experience across multiple sectors. The event concluded with an awards presentation recognising outstanding partners and key contributors within the ecosystem.

 

The Abuja engagement marks the second leg of the TechConnect 5.0 tour, with a highly anticipated grand finale set for November 11, 2025, in Lagos, at the Federal Palace Hotel and Casino, Victoria Island. As Interswitch continues its nationwide engagement, the series remains a testament to the company’s mission to drive sustainable growth through technology-driven innovation and collaboration.
