Nigeria Fintech Week (NFW) is set to return from October 7–9, 2025, with a bold new format that reflects its growing impact on Africa’s digital economy.
Unveiled at a press briefing on July 23, the 8th edition, dubbed “The Fintech Ecosystem Symphony: Orchestrating Nigeria’s Digital Future”, aims to bring together over 20,000 participants from across sectors and regions.
Organised by the Fintech Association of Nigeria, NFW25 will explore how coordinated efforts between government, startups, corporates, and investors can fast-track innovation and financial inclusion across the continent.
“This is no longer just an event. It’s a movement,” said Dr. Stanley Jacob, president of the Fintech Association of Nigeria. “NFW25 will be where new partnerships are forged, sectors transformed, and the future of Nigeria’s digital economy is composed like a symphony.”
For the first time, Nigeria Fintech Week will span multiple locations, Abuja, Delta, and Enugu, before culminating at the Landmark Centre in Lagos.
The multi-city format is designed to widen participation and showcase the reach of fintech across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.
According to Dr. Jameelah Sharrieff-Ayedun, vice president and chair of the Organising Committee, the expansion reinforces NFW’s commitment to accessibility and grassroots innovation. “Fintech is for everyone now, from farmers to students, from SMEs to regulators,” she said.
Uche Uzoebo, CEO of the Shared Agent Network Expansion Facilities Limited (SANEF) added, “Even churches, schools, and food vendors are digitising. NFW25 is where they’ll find solutions, partners, and tools to grow.”
Nigeria Fintech Week has grown since 2017 into Africa’s leading fintech gathering, driving policy shifts, investment, and digital transformation.
With this year’s expansive approach, the stage is set to orchestrate an even more inclusive and impactful digital future.
