FinTechNGR sets digital future agenda for Nigeria Fintech Week 2025

The Fintech Association of Nigeria (FinTechNGR) has set a digital future for the about 20,000+ participants at the eighth edition of Nigeria Fintech Week (NFW25).

The theme ‘The Fintech Ecosystem Symphony: Orchestrating Nigeria’s Digital Future’ will take place across Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu, with hybrid global participation expected to attract more than 20,000 innovators, policymakers, regulators, investors, corporates, creators, and professionals.

Jameelah Sharrieff-Ayedun, vice president of FinTechNGR, said the theme reflects how fintech has moved beyond payments to become a critical driver of Nigeria’s wider economy. “From enabling micro-insurance for healthcare, powering transaction-based credit for smallholder farmers, to boosting the creator economy with seamless payouts, making transport and retail transactions traceable and safer, fintech is now the conductor of Nigeria’s entire economic orchestra.”
