National Institute of Credit Administration NICA
The National Institute of Credit Administration (NICA), chartered, is set to officially unveil to the local and global community, the Nigeria Credit Economic Forum (NCEF), a pioneering platform designed to address challenges, share insights, and drive innovations in Nigeria’s credit ecosystem.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the CEO, NICA, Prof. Chris Onalo, obtained by Dailyeconomy on Saturday.
This annual event will bring together leaders from the federal and sta te governments’ credit facilitation agencies, corporate and consumer credit providers/grantors, foreign credit investment organizations, export credit agencies, formal and informal credit using entrepreneurs, cooperative/thrift credit union or societe operators, and academic community to explore transformative solutions for creating a more inclusive and resilient, people-centered credit economy.
The goal of the forum is to provide and promote actionable insights, foster collaborations that strengthen Nigeria’s credit infrastructure, and other corporate and consumer credit enabling system.
The Nigeria Credit Economic Forum (NCEF), conceived to follow the pattern of the World Economic Forum (WEF), is expected to generate the same momentum across Africa and the world, serving as a platform to drive Nigeria’s economy away from the long-standing cash-based system to a robust credit-based economy.
This forum will parade the heartbeat economic leaders, expected to pioneer this transition. We expect a large pool of participants in the annual gathering,
including policymakers (i.e., federal and state governments), business owners, entrepreneurs, managing directors, CEOs, industry experts, critical stakeholders (credit providers/grantors, facilitators, organizations providing credit ancillary services, insurance companies, organized private sector, foreign trade and investment credit partners, local blue- chip companies, NGOs promoting access to credit, local and foreign media, professional associations, diplomatic communities, local and foreign development finance and credit guarantee institutions, among others.
