Flutterwave, Africa’s payments technology leader, has partnered with NITDA to accelerate digital transformation and economic growth nationwide.
The partnership addresses slow digital adoption among SMEs, which limits growth potential and hinders Nigeria’s digital economic expansion.
It promotes digital literacy, encourages fintech innovation, and aligns with the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS) initiatives.
Many SMEs still rely on traditional business models, restricting access to digital payments, e-commerce, and global financial solutions.
The collaboration seeks to equip businesses with tools and expertise required for seamless digital adoption and global market participation.
Olugbenga Agboola, Flutterwave’s CEO, emphasized providing secure payment technologies to empower businesses and ensure confident scaling opportunities.
He stated that the partnership reinforces Flutterwave’s dedication to building an inclusive, thriving digital economy across Nigeria.
Kashifu Abdullahi, NITDA’s Director-General, noted Flutterwave’s innovation aligns perfectly with Nigeria’s digital transformation and economic growth vision.
He added that slow digital adoption among SMEs hampers economic growth, requiring supportive infrastructure and robust digital resources.
This partnership represents a critical step toward Nigeria’s digital transformation through secure, innovative, and scalable financial solutions.
Flutterwave has processed 890 million transactions worth $34 billion, serving global brands like Uber, Air Peace, and PiggyVest.
