The organisers of Nigeria Fintech Week (NFW25), Africa’s largest fintech gathering, have announced a bold vision for the event’s eighth edition, themed “The Fintech Ecosystem Symphony: Orchestrating Nigeria’s Digital Future.”
Scheduled for October 7–9, 2025, across Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu, with hybrid global participation, NFW25 will bring together more than 20,000 innovators, policymakers, creators, regulators, investors, and professionals to explore how fintech powers every industry, from healthcare and agriculture to entertainment, transport, media, and education.
“This year’s theme reflects fintech’s transformation from a niche financial solution to the conductor of Nigeria’s entire economic orchestra,” said Vice President of the Fintech Association of Nigeria (FinTechNGR), Dr. Jameelah Sharrieff-Ayedun,. “From enabling micro-insurance for healthcare, powering transaction-based credit for smallholder farmers, to boosting the creator economy with seamless payouts, making transport and retail transactions traceable and safer, and more.”
“We’re reimagining the conference experience to offer a more unique, participant-led journey. That is why the conference will have multiple simultaneous tracks. Each track is tailored to different ecosystem actors – policymakers, innovators, corporates, creators, SMEs, and youth. Our digital future works only when every instrument in the orchestra plays in harmony.”
