Book on Fintech Law and Practice in Nigeria Launches with Roundtable Discussion at University of Aberdee
The University of Aberdeen is set to host the launch of Fintech Law and Practice in Nigeria, a pioneering work by author Davidson Oturu, on October 30th, 2024. The event will take place at the Centre for Commercial Law and will feature a roundtable discussion titled “Shaping the Future: Roundtable on Fintech and Digital Markets in Africa,” running from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM GMT.
The roundtable will examine the transformative role of fintech and digital markets in reshaping Africa’s economic landscape. As digital financial services rapidly expand globally, Africa is positioning itself as a leader in fintech innovation. However, significant challenges remain in regulation, cross-border trade, digital inclusion, and market access.
This discussion will highlight how regional trade agreements like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) are fostering a more integrated digital economy. It will also explore fintech’s potential to drive economic development, enhance financial access, and stimulate innovation within African markets.
The panel of experts includes:
• Dr. Ify Ogo, PhD – Regional Specialist on the AfCFTA at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
• Davidson Oturu – General Partner at Nubia Capital and Author of Fintech Law and Practice in Nigeria
• Dr. Titilayo Adebola – Senior Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen and Director of the Centre for Commercial Law
This event is designed for legal practitioners, academics, entrepreneurs, and anyone with an interest in the evolving fintech landscape. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with thought leaders and explore collaborative opportunities among stakeholders, including policymakers, entrepreneurs, and investors.
