Can Nigeria Attain the CBN Goal of 80% Financial Inclusion by 2020? | Listen to Financial Inclusion Today on BN

According  to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) only 41.6% of Nigerians are considered to be financially included. Financial Inclusion means that individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs – transactions, payments, savings, credit and insurance – delivered in a responsible and sustainable way.

The CBN has an ambitious goal of 80% financial Inclusion by the year 2020.

Following a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Business Day is aiming to drive some of the financial inclusion conversation in Nigeria, and one of the ways is through a radio show titled Financial Inclusion Today.
