According to the organisers, the Conference provides another unique opportunity to partner with other forward looking organisations, and stakeholders in the financial system within Nigeria and Africa, including global financial leaders across the globe.

“The event would also provide a veritable platform for networking opportunities among participants across the globe.

The 1st Nigerian international Bankers Conference is indeed a step in the right direction as we all strive towards making the Nigeria’s financial services industry globally competitive,” the statement said.

Ahmad, Deputy Governor, Financial Systems Stability Directorate, CBN; Mr. John Turnbull, Director, Certis International; Mr. Clive Carpenter Vice President, Business Council for Africa; Noline Matemera, Partner, TLT LLP; and Stuart Mc Bride Partner, TLT LLP.
