🇳🇬 Pioneering Innovation and Cybersecurity in Nigeria 🇳🇬 Nigeria's technology and innovation sectors, especially FinTech, are booming. With cutting-edge digital solutions, the country continues to drive financial inclusion, empowering millions across Africa. At the start of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it's crucial to ensure that as we innovate, we also secure our digital future. In my latest interview, I discuss how Nigeria’s FinTech space is tackling cyber fraud and what we can do to protect our digital economy. One of my closing points in the interview was about regulation and innovation: “When it comes to regulation, some would argue innovation is always ahead of regulation, but I see a unique opportunity whereby a working group could be created within the private and public sectors to ensure that regulation is in line with innovation. Nigeria is doing a great job—the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy, NITDA Nigeria, and the Presidency Government of Nigeria are doing amazing work when it comes to cybersecurity. However, we need a collaborative effort where the industry and regulators align on technology using sandboxes and joint working groups to ensure that regulation stays relevant without stifling innovation. Ultimately, we need to innovate to stay competitive.” 🚀 Full interview here: https://lnkd.in/e9jUeX3S As we celebrate Nigeria’s progress today, it’s clear una dey try small small! Let’s continue building a secure, innovative future for the nation and beyond. 🇳🇬 #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #FinTechNigeria #Innovation #SamuelUbido #FinancialInclusion
