Lemo, Fatokun, others for meeting

The Chairman, Economy Team of Nigeria, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, will receive the result of the deliberations of the meeting of an electronic payment group, the E- Payment Providers Association of Nigeria-(E-PPAN).

The meeting will host personalities, such as its Chairman, Advocacy Committee and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Central Securities Clearing System Limited (CSSL) Mr. Kyari Bukar; former Director (Operations) the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Tunde Lemo; Chairman, Lambeth Trust Investment Limited, Oluwatoyin Jokosenumi; Head, Programme Office, FSS2020 CBN, Mr. Dipo Fatokun- Director; BPSD CBN and Chairman of NEFF and the E-PPAN Board of Trustees and the Governing Board Members.

Its Business Development Officer, Adesakin Folasayo, said the group would hold its first meeting on September 10 at the Colonades Hotel, Ikoyi Lagos between 10am and noon.

“This meeting will be structured in the usual E-PPAN technical/interactive session. The meeting will be anchored on the just-concluded E-Government Summit 2015 hosted in collaboration with FSS2020, CBN and other partners,” Folasayo explained.

At the summit, hosted by E-PPAN and FSS 2020/CBN, key policy statements were made and the forum opened a new vista of opportunities for the industry as deliberations were centered on the uncoordinated approach to the implementation of the national policy on e-payment in the public sector, challenges in implementing national policies on e-payment at various levels of government; and the silo approaches being adopted by the private and public sector in addressing issues concerning e- payment and e- government.

These, among others, will be the focus of discussion at the meeting to enable the group to come up with solutions that will convert the outcomes of the summit to business profitability for E-PPAN members and the industry as a whole.

They added that E-PPAN members should reach decisions that would guide its advocacy campaigns in ensuring that the bottom of the pyramid is captured in the formal financial sector.
