President Bola Ahmed Tinubu‘s administration has said that it is putting sustainable mechanisms in place to build a $1 trillion economy by 2030.

The Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Senator Ibrahim Hadejia, stated this on Thursday at the 8th Annual national conference of The Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents in Nigeria (AMMBAN), holding in Benin, Edo State.

Hadejia who was represented by the Technical Advisor to the President on Economic and Financial Inclusion, Nurudeen Abubakar Zauro, assured that the government is committed to pursuing economic and financial inclusion with all sector players to achieve its goal.

He said:

“As we seek to achieve this milestone, financial inclusion is at the heart of our economic agenda, ensuring that all Nigerians—regardless of location, gender, or socioeconomic status—are not only included but also empowered in our financial system.

“This has been made evident in the administration’s effort to boost access to credit for micro, small, medium, and nano enterprises (MSMSNE), and various other programs targeted at enhancing inclusive growth through economic and financial inclusion.”

As we work toward our 2030 economic goal, it is critical that we focus on narrowing these gaps.

“This is where Neighborhood Financial Inclusion Centers (NFIC) play a pivotal role at providing a one-stop shop for financial services in excluded communities.

“Through proactive partnerships with government and financial institutions, these centres will address both the physical and digital barriers that prevent millions of Nigerians from accessing essential financial services especially amongst the economically poor to improve their resilience against economic shocks.”
