#PresidentBiden's reversal of the Trump administration's visa ban on #Nigeria has set a great wrong right. If the #COVID-19 #Pandemic taught us anything, it was that the world needs to move towards greater integration, not isolationism. https://t.co/e38ichsAA8

My thanks to Charles Khiran and the #BossNewspaper for a chance to share my thoughts on the lessons of #2020, and the path ahead in #2021. In my opinion overcoming a crisis like the #COVID-19 pandemic presents the opportunity to accelerate change. https://t.co/3dPtCbkRYE

Infections and fatalities due to #COVID-19 are rising in #Nigeria. Proactive response is crucial. I applaud President Muhammadu Buhari for mandating compulsory face masks and investing in nationwide oxygen plants. This is a time for all Nigerians to #Unite against this threat.

Why is #Nigeria leading the #Bitcoin wave?
* Nigerian expats are using bitcoins to send money to families
* Increasing #crypto exchanges
* Volatality in local fiat currency
* Sizable tech-savvy, young population
* Improvement in ICT infrastructure

Happy to see Nigeria choose Pfizer, which has shown 95% effectiveness without adverse effects. Such decisive steps will help the nation put COVID-19 concerns to bed and focus on socio-economic growth and development. #Nigeria #COVID19 #vaccine #Pfizer https://t.co/yblTX4akKA

This is huge! Walmart and its subsidiaries such as FlipKart, Sam's Club and Bodega Aurrerá have massive market presence in leading economies. Existing infrastructure could help ease Walmart's entry and make a quick impact. #Fintech #Digitalbanking https://t.co/4ph9RMqqjY

#Fintech boosted resilience and inclusion during the #Pandemic & can accelerate development across #Africa in 2021, the #FintechTimes believes. I couldn’t agree more. Fintech can be the enabler that empowers Africans to take charge of their destinty. https://t.co/atm2oINQiI

Many looked at cryptocurrencies with suspicion in the past. I’m glad that rise in Bitcoin and Ethereum value is changing that. With the right regulatory framework crypto can be boost financial inclusion and be an inflation resistant asset class with global reach.

Honored to be featured on the cover of Ovation, one of Nigeria’s premier magazines. To me, recognition from African peers has always been the most satisfying. It's an inspiration to continue empowering the incredible potential that lies within our great continent.

#Fintech had an eventful #2020. App transactions gained older customers. #RemittancePlatforms, #eCommerce, P2P platforms, and #Digital wallets grew. #Blockchain, Contactless Terminals, NFC Cards, and much more is on the way. The future will have a #CustomerExperience focus.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone! May all our hearts be filled with joy and gratitude this festive season.

#2020 will be remembered for #COVID-19. But it was also about strangers helping the vulnerable; heroic medical and essential services staff; labs creating #Vaccines on a war footing; and nations collaborating. I hope these positives inspire us, to co-create a better world.

In its commitment to enhance #transparency & #accountability & to ensure that core procurement principles are not traded for expediency in #pandemic disbursements, the govt. of #Nigeria is placing contract information in public domain.

The benefits of increasing women’s involvement in MENA’s economies depend not just on transport but on other factors, including shift in attitudes.

The #pandemic offers an opportunity to speed up the access to clean energy across #Africa - and #Nigeria is taking advantage. More #economic resilience and hundreds of thousands of new jobs around the country could also be promoted through this strategy.
