Other dignitaries expected include Alhaji Umaru Kwairanga, Chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group, who will attend as Special Guest, and Mrs. Bola Odukale, Director General of the Nigerian Insurers Association, who will be Guest Speaker.

Beyond policy dialogue, the event will also feature an Awards segment to celebrate individuals and institutions that have demonstrated exceptional contribution to financial services growth, enterprise development and credible economic reporting in Nigeria.
FiBOP President said the conference underscores the association’s commitment to fostering informed economic discourse and strengthening collaboration among government institutions, the private sector and the media as catalysts for sustainable economic expansion.
