Ade Atobatele, founder of Gboza Gboza Technology Ltd, a member of the E-ppan association, while speaking at a conference organised by the fintech lobby group in Lagos said: “Noting how technology develops at a rate much faster than financial regulators can cope with, some regulatory oversight is needed to give direction and to tackle issues around risk and service delivery.”
