A significant investment agreement has been signed by private sector stakeholders to provide the foundational infrastructure for the Aso Accord.
Led by IQS Africa, this collaboration underscores the commitment of all partners to Nigeria's inclusive growth story.
This framework ensures robustness and adaptability to evolving challenges and opportunities in financial and economic inclusion.
Nigeria's financial inclusion rate has shown significant improvement, rising from 60.3% in 2012 to 74% as of 2023.
However, millions of Nigerians – particularly youth, women, MSMEs, and rural populations – still face systemic barriers.
PreCEFI is specifically designed to address these remaining gaps and ensure every Nigerian is integrated into our economic growth story, regardless of geography or status.
