Vice President Kashim Shettima has said economic and sectoral reforms under President Bola Tinubu are helping Nigerian companies expand beyond the domestic market and build stronger international brands.
Shettima spoke in Abuja while receiving a delegation from Flutterwave led by its Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Olugbenga Agboola.
The Vice President cited companies including Flutterwave, Moniepoint and Andela as examples of Nigerian businesses that had developed solutions with international relevance and expanded their operations across multiple markets.
He said government policy should deliberately support indigenous companies capable of competing globally, arguing that stronger local firms would improve Nigeria’s technology ecosystem, create jobs and project the country’s entrepreneurial capacity abroad.
Shettima praised Flutterwave for developing payment infrastructure designed around African commercial challenges and said the company had become one of the continent’s most prominent technology stories.
He assured the company of continued federal support within Nigeria and in its international expansion efforts.
Agboola said Flutterwave intended to deepen its presence across Africa and other markets while remaining rooted in Nigeria.
He said the company wanted to work with the Government in expanding digital payments and contributing to the administration’s economic agenda. Flutterwave provides payment infrastructure to merchants and payment-service providers and has grown into one of Africa’s most visible fintech businesses
