The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has said telecoms network connectivity remains the major structure needed to power growth in the financial sector of the economy.

The Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Aminu Maida, stated this while addressing the FINTECH Association of Nigeria, led by its President Mr. Ade Bajomo.

The association was on a courtesy visit at the EVC’s office when he made it clear that the pivotal role of connectivity in advancing the financial sector and other economic areas remains sacrosanct.

He reassured the FINTECH association of the NCC’s commitment to expanding connectivity to unserved and underserved regions, aiming to eliminate access barriers.

Maida emphasised the Commission’s efforts to ensure the industry’s sustainability by addressing challenges that hinder service delivery.

Earlier in his speech, the leader of the delegation, Mr Bajomo outlined the group’s ambitious vision to position Nigeria as the fintech hub of Africa and potentially, the world.

He emphasised the need for collaboration with the NCC to achieve this goal, highlighting the importance of robust connectivity in driving financial innovation and inclusion.
