The President of the Association of Corporate Affairs Managers of Banks (ACAMB), Mr. Rasheed Bolarinwa, has emphasized the need to harness artificial intelligence and digital innovation to strengthen trust in Nigeria’s banking and financial services sector.
Bolarinwa made this known during the 4th ACAMB Stakeholders Conference, held today at the CIBN Bankers House in Lagos.
The conference convened key players across banking, finance, and technology to explore the theme: “AI and the Future of Trust: Reimagining Banking and Financial Services in a Digital-First Era.”
“We stand on the threshold of a transformative era, one driven by AI, digital technologies, and evolving customer expectations,” Bolarinwa said. “This conference is a platform for bold dialogue, innovative thinking, and collaboration aimed at building a financial ecosystem where trust is not just maintained but enhanced through technology.”
The event featured a keynote address by the Managing Partner at Verraki Partners and Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), Mr. Niyi Yusuf.
He provided strategic insights into how artificial intelligence is reshaping financial services and the broader implications for governance, data privacy, and consumer trust.
A high-level panel session brought further depth to the discussions, with contributions from the Chief Operating Officer, VFD Microfinance Bank, Yonodu Okeugo; Chief Information Security Officer, First Bank, Dr. Harrison Nnaji; and Chief Digital Officer, Polaris Bank, Mr. Dele Adeyinka.
Together, they examined how emerging technologies can be responsibly leveraged to create more resilient, transparent, and customer-focused financial systems.
The conference underscored ACAMB’s commitment to driving excellence in corporate communications and stakeholder engagement, key pillars in building and sustaining public trust in Nigeria’s financial institutions.
