Enabling businesses and driving financial inclusion @Moniepoint. Views expressed are my own.

[I.A. Ningi @Sharksawn]

The Vice President, Sen. @KashimSM today received the leadership team of @moniepointng, led by its Chief Executive Officer, Tosin Eniolorunda, on a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa. The meeting highlighted @moniepointng’s remarkable achievements in the financial technology sector, its commitment to advancing financial inclusion, and its ongoing collaborations with law enforcement agencies to combat financial fraud.

During the visit, Mr. Tosin Eniolorunda expressed gratitude to the Vice President for making time to meet with the team, underscoring the administration’s dedication to digital innovation and financial inclusion. He emphasized Moniepoint’s commitment to Nigeria’s financial ecosystem, stating that the fintech giant has grown into Africa’s latest unicorn this year, a testament to its resilience and innovation.

He detailed @moniepointng’s contributions to financial inclusion, including providing digital banking solutions to millions of Nigerians, particularly underserved communities, and empowering small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs). Highlighting their robust collaboration with law enforcement agencies such as the @PoliceNG, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (@FIUNigeria), and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (@officialEFCC), Mr. Eniolorunda reiterated Moniepoint’s commitment to using intelligence-driven technology to fight financial fraud and strengthen trust in the digital payment system.

The Vice President congratulated the @moniepointng team on achieving unicorn status, lauding their innovative approach to leveraging technology to solve financial challenges. He acknowledged the company’s impressive growth trajectory, its workforce of over 3,000 employees, and its contribution to the country’s vision of building a $1 trillion economy.

In his remarks, the Vice President highlighted the diversity within @moniepointng’s team, describing it as a “kaleidoscope of colors” and reflecting the beauty of Nigeria’s multicultural and multi-regional identity. He was particularly pleased with the inclusion of individuals from various regions and backgrounds, including a notable representation of women in leadership and operational roles.

While celebrating Moniepoint’s achievements, the Vice President emphasized the need for stronger auditing measures to prevent misuse of the platform, especially by fraudsters and criminal elements. He urged @moniepointng and other fintech platforms to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing these challenges.

He acknowledged the company’s impressive journey over the past five years as @moniepointng and their earlier contributions as a software solutions company for banks, applauding their resilience and innovation.

In closing, the Vice President encouraged @moniepointng to continue expanding its global footprint, referencing his ongoing support for similar initiatives such as @Amal_Outsource’s @otni_ng project. He assured the @moniepointng team of his unwavering support, promising to be their “chief promoter” in advancing the brand’s visibility on the global stage.

The courtesy visit marks another milestone in the partnership between the Nigerian Government and private sector innovators like @moniepointng, who are key players in the administration’s drive to build a robust digital economy and foster financial inclusion across the nation.

Dear Keir please can you help us out! Tower Hamlets wants to ban off lead dogs in parks.
We believe the proposed Dog PSPO is excessively restrictive and will adversely affect both dogs and responsible dog owners. Please can you personally intervene to bring the Labour council back into line.
