From 1-2 July, #Lagos🇳🇬 received the baton to host the 2026 AfCFTA Digital Trade Forum (ADTF) from previous hosts of the 2025 edition, #Lusaka🇿🇲 and we were #InterswitchProud🔥 to be one of the major sponsors and thought-leaders that made this possible at the iconic National Arts Theatre. As the events kicked-off on Day 1 as declared open by Nigeria's Honourable Federal Minister for Industry, Trade & Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, our Managing Director (MD) for Payment Tokens and Chief Executive for Verve International, Vincent Ogbunude shared perspectives on 'Building Digital Public Infrastructure for an Inclusive AfCFTA Market'. From payments rails to identity and data systems, the message was clear: Africa's trade ambitions will rise or fall on the strength of the digital foundations we lay today 📈 Thrilled to see #Verve and #Interswitch at the table, shaping these germane conversations in the same week we advanced conversations with the Federal Ministry of Finance to strengthen digital payments innovation to support the AfCFTA 🚀 #InterswitchAtADTF2026🌍 #DigitalTrade💹 #NeverS20P⏩ #InspiringAfricaToGreatness🔥
