Speaking at the FirstBank FinTech Summit 6.0, themed ‘Banking on Partnerships’, Sanwo-Olu who was represented by the Commissioner, of Innovation Science and Technology, Lagos State Government, Olatubosun Alake said: “Digital innovation is also driving healthcare, food systems, commerce the list is endless. First Bank, fortunately, has been at the forefront of digital banking for many years, and we must commend their efforts in fostering an environment of innovation.

“Their willingness to lead these conversations, to bring us all together, shows a deep understanding of the importance of partnerships in this digital age. Whether it is in banking, insurance, technology, or government, collaboration is no longer optional; it is essential. We are all pieces of a larger puzzle, and our success is intertwined.

“I must commend the team at First Bank of Nigeria for putting together such a thoughtful and impactful event. This year’s theme, Banking on Partnerships, could not be more timely, especially when our industries, economy, and society are in desperate need of more value-creating collaborations, innovations, and shared solutions.

On the deployment of road management systems, he said: “In traffic management, we have implemented intelligent transport systems that address issues such as expired registrations. I’m sure some people have received text messages that their inspection or registration has expired. This is just the beginning. Subsequently, as we speak, we are deploying other intelligent transport systems, such as red-light cameras and speed cameras, which have already started, as well as indiscriminate lane change detection devices, currently being installed.”
