Kaduna State has recorded 800,000 new bank accounts as part of an aggressive financial‑inclusion drive targeting low‑income residents and informal‑sector workers. Authorities attribute the surge to mobile‑banking campaigns, agent networks and partnerships with microfinance institutions and fintechs.
Officials say greater access to formal financial services is helping citizens save securely, receive government payments and access credit for small businesses. The initiative aligns with national inclusion targets and could serve as a model for other states seeking to bring more people into the formal economy.
