Arrangements have been concluded for Pan-African financial institution, Ecobank Nigeria, to host second edition of its
Fintech Breakfast Series on November 4, 2022.
With the theme, “Strengthening the ecosystem”, this year’s programme is focusing on two key areas: The role of good

In a statement, the organisers said prominent players, including Co-founder, Rising Tide Africa, Yemi Keri; Co-founder &
CEO, Duplo, Yele Oyekola; General Partner, Norrseken, Lexi Novitske and Managing Director at Mzuri Solutions Limited,
Chinedu Onuoha, will speak at the event.
There would also be a fireside chat with Partner, Aluko & Oyebode, Tosin Iyayi, as she will talk about how fintechs could
achieve good corporate governance.
Speakers are to share experiences with regard to achieving good corporate governance and finding an effective approach to
fundraising.
Fintechs will be able to glean relevant lessons from banks and have the chance to share their challenges with securing
investments and driving corporate governance in their organisations.
In the past three years, Ecobank has strengthened its collaboration and engagement with the fintech industry, teaming up
with Africa’s leading tech publication, TechCabal, to host the series.
During the last edition, discussions centred on how fintechs and banks could build and leverage strategic partnerships for
growth and expansion. The event featured experts like Paga CEO, Tayo Oviosu and Partner at QED Investors, Gbenga Ajayi, as

The series holds quarterly and mobilises fintech leaders across Africa to share business insights and major issues in the
ecosystem such as regulatory guidelines, funding and other germane matters of interest to fintech startups at different
stages of their journey.
The hybrid event is drawing attendance from a diverse audience of top fintech professionals and bank executives across the
continent, as well as investors, innovators, policymakers and regulators.
