Owolabi also disclosed that EFInA would launch a financial dashboard during the meeting.
According to Owolabi, the dashboard would track Nigeria’s financial inclusion 2020 targets.
The EFInA boss said participants at the conference would participate in a panel session.
The statement reads partly: “As part of strategic activities in line with the conference, EFInA is scheduled to launch the National Financial Inclusion Dashboard on its website.
Owolabi disclosed that the panel session is entitled: “Deepening digital financial services adoption and usage.”
