Financial Services

The financial services sector is a very important sector to the Nigerian economy as a result of its enormous contribution to the revenue of the country and the creation of employment opportunities. The provision of financial services in Nigeria is well regulated, supervised and coordinated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) which has continued to monitor and regulate innovations and the dynamism of the sector. For instance, the CBN introduced the regulatory sandbox to provide an avenue for testing and regulating innovative financial services before launching them to consumers.
