Tinubu pledges support for Fintech coys

President Tinubu says his administration will support businesses in the financial technology (Fintech) sector which provide payment infrastructure services for Nigerians and Africans.

The president said this when he received the leadership of Flutterwave and Alami Capital in Abuja on Saturday, Mr Bayo Onanuga, his spokesman, said in a statement.

Tinubu said Nigeria was genuinely open to business, and as president, he was determined to remove all obstacles to allow companies to thrive.

He commended Flutterwave’s commitment to building capacity in the digital economy sector, especially as was being made possible by energetic, young Nigerians.

Tinubu said he was honoured to be the president of a country with such a youthful and resourceful population.

He said the leadership Flutterwave was providing in the digital world was what Nigeria needed to grow its economy and make life easier for most of its population.

Minister of Finance, Dr ale Edun, who also attended the meeting, said Flutterwave had made significant progress since its establishment ten years ago.

He said the company had created jobs and helped diversify the economy by providing innovative digital platforms and payment services in Nigeria and across Africa.
