Governor Ahmed made the call today when he received the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) team on Nigeria Financial Inclusion Strategy led by the Bank's Controller in Kwara State, Mr. Ekanem Akpan at the Government House, Ilorin.

He urged financial institutions to develop products that are in consonance with dynamics of businesses and derisk some areas for financial intermediation.

Also speaking, the Kwara State Controller of CBN, Mr. Ekanem Akpan, explained that the Nigeria Financial Inclusion Strategy is one of the CBN's policies to extend financial services to unbanked citizens across the country.

Giving the analysis on Kwara State status on Nigeria Financial Inclusion Strategy, the Head of Financial Inclusion Desk, Mrs. Temitope Fadeyi disclosed that Kwara State had made significant progress in exclusion by twenty-six percent as at December, twenty-sixteen and hoped that the state's exclusion would be brought down to twenty percent soon.
