Finance and sustainability executives are calling for deeper collaboration among regulators, investors, and private sector players to accelerate the growth of sustainable financing and drive Nigeria’s long-term economic expansion.
The call came during a session hosted by RMB Nigeria at the 31st Nigerian Economic Summit (NES#31), themed “Funding the Future: Sustainable Financing as a Growth Engine.” The discussion focused on how innovative financing tools and long-term partnerships can help bridge Nigeria’s infrastructure and climate funding gaps.
Bayo Ajayi, chief executive officer of RMB Nigeria, said finance must evolve from merely supplying liquidity to catalysing transformation. “Every naira deployed should build industries, empower communities, and safeguard our environment,” he said.
