ThisDay reports that Nigeria has been selected to host the 2026 Conference on Africa’s Borderless Digital Economy.
The event is expected to convene policymakers, tech entrepreneurs, and investors to discuss digital payments integration and harmonized data regulation across Africa, with an AfCFTA implementation lens.
The Nation and BusinessDay also noted anticipated focus areas such as reducing cross-border transaction costs and showcasing Nigerian innovation to a global audience.
Echotitbits take: Hosting is an opportunity for Nigeria’s fintech and enterprise tech ecosystem, but credibility will depend on fixing the basics: affordable data, reliable power, and predictable regulation. Expect deal-making around cross-border payments, digital identity, and AfCFTA-compliant trade digitization.
