Financial Inclusion

Today, Nigeria is reputed to be the poverty capital of the world with over 87million people living in extreme poverty. It is pertinent to note that there is a direct relationship between extreme poverty and financial exclusion. Financially excluded individuals do not benefit from financial intermediation, which is the mobilization of savings from the supply-side and provision of loans to the demand-side for economic development.
