There is global consensus on the importance of financial inclusion due to its vital role in bringing integrity and stability into an economy's financial system and its role in sustainably fighting poverty. However, it is more pertinent in the case of some African countries, such as Nigeria as a developing nation, to use financial inclusion as a platform not just for growing the financial sector but more as an engine for driving inclusive economic growth.

Thanks Faruk Hadžić . In your opinion, do you think the stiffness in regulations on the financial system is weakening the effect that financial inclusion should be having in driving inclusive financial economic growth as you rightly noted.

Dear: I believe that inclusive financial and economic growth is critical.
