About
2025 CeBIH CONFERENCE
Nigeria’s financial inclusion journey has made significant strides in recent years, yet deep divides remain. A key but often overlooked barrier is the cultural mindset around credit—ranging from distrust of formal financial systems to fear of indebtedness. These perceptions limit uptake of credit facilities and broader participation in the formal financial economy.
- The event, led by the Committee of e-Business Industry Heads (CeBIH), aims to interrogate cultural barriers
- Explore innovative digital solutions—including the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—and propose actionable pathways to universal financial access.
