Olugbenga Agboola, CEO, Flutterwave, has announced plans to establish Anambra State as the company's hub for Nigeria's South East, leveraging a fresh banking license from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to boost local fintech and businesses.
Agboola made the disclosure yesterday in Awka during a meeting with Anambra tech community leaders, hosted alongside Dr. Stanley Uzochukwu, CEO, Stanel Group and proprietor, Delborough Hotel.
He highlighted Flutterwave's status as Africa's leading payment system, born in Nigeria, with infrastructure powering companies nationwide.
"We want Anambra to be our hub for the entire South East," Agboola said. "We'll deploy our systems, fees, infrastructure, and POS terminals to every small business and large firm here, making our services the top consumer choice."
Agboola pledged a massive impact program for Anambra entrepreneurs to foster global platforms from the state, enabled by the new license for faster growth.
For a decade, Flutterwave has facilitated payments, but now aims to empower South East businesses through partnerships, POS access, loans, and value for SMEs.
"We're partnering on a huge impact program launching soon—impacting the tech community with technology, financing, and lending to create more millionaires from this city," he added.
