Nigeria Fintech Week, Africa’s largest fintech gathering, is set to bring together more than 20,000 stakeholders, policymakers and investors, as the event returns for its eighth edition from October 7 to 9, 2025.
Themed: ‘The Fintech Ecosystem Symphony: Orchestrating Nigeria’s Digital Future’, NFW25 will be hosted across Lagos, Abuja and Enugu, with hybrid participation from global players.
In a statement, the organisers said the event will highlight fintech’s transformation from a financial niche into a driving force that powers multiple sectors, from healthcare and agriculture to entertainment, transport, media, and education.
Vice President of the Fintech Association of Nigeria, Dr Jameelah Sharrieff-Ayedun, said the theme underscores fintech’s evolution into a conductor of the broader economy.
“From enabling microinsurance for healthcare and powering transaction-based credit for smallholder farmers to boosting the creator economy with seamless payouts and making transport and retail transactions traceable and safer, fintech is the central rhythm shaping Nigeria’s future,” Sharrieff-Ayedun said.
Executive Secretary of the Planning Committee, Seun Folorunsho, explained that the 2025 edition will reimagine the conference experience by offering multiple simultaneous tracks tailored to different ecosystem actors.
“We’re creating a participant-led journey. Each track will serve policymakers, innovators, corporates, creators, SMEs and youth. Our digital future works only when every instrument in the orchestra plays in harmony,” Folorunsho said.
The conference will feature more than 20 thematic tracks, giving participants opportunities to engage with policymakers, regulators, investors and innovators.
Confirmed regulatory institutions include the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Information Technology Development Agency and the National Identity Management Commission.
