Achieving financial inclusion in Nigeria and the role of the telecommunications industry
03:12pm, Monday, 28'th Feb 2022 BusinessDay
Introduction The growing importance of financial inclusion as a catalyst for economic growth and development has been well documented in several articles. Financial inclusion is viewed in many parts of the world as aright of all citizens to social inclusion, better quality of life and an instrument for strengthening economic capacity and reducing income inequality. As such, policymakers have treated financial inclusion as a basic right for all citizens. Despite its importance, Financial inclusion has continued to pose a challenge to nations across the world, particularly in Africa which possesses great opportunities for financial services on the micro-level. In order to transform these huge opportunities into reality, what is needed is a realistic framework by policymakers and an innovative approach that surpasses market’s expectations and encourages all stakeholders. Although steady progress is being made, critical challenges remain such as low financial literacy, insufficient infrastructural facilities which has constrained the achievement of substantial expansion of the financial inclusion level in Nigeria.
