Launching Nigeria’s National Digital Alphanumeric Postcode System is the first step. Its true impact will come as we weave it into how we live, do business, connect with one another and deliver services across every corner of our country. Every postcode should mean something tangible: a customer reached, a delivery completed, a community better served, or emergency help arriving where it is needed. In the days, weeks and months ahead, my office will work with @NipostNgn and key actors across government, business and the technology community to embed this new national asset in our everyday lives. So to our developers and innovators, let’s build on it. The API ( You can find documentation here - docs.postcode.gov.ng) provides a foundation for integrating the postcode into the products and services Nigerians use every day. So go on and register your organisation: dashboard.postcode.gov.ng/re… and start building. To access the API: 1. Create an organisation account. 2. Submit your Know Your Business (KYB) documentation. 3. Request API access, specifying the access level you need. 4. Receive staging tokens to develop and test your integration. 5. Complete User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with NIPOST’s technical and compliance teams, where required. 6. Receive production tokens and go live. I also want to hear your ideas. How can we embed the alphanumeric postcode in commerce, transport, healthcare, agriculture, emergency response and community life? What would you build, and what problem would it solve?

Brilliant roundtable at Bridgforte Dialogues during UNGA 81 last week with Anna Gincherman, Founding Partner - ConsumerCentriX, and Yinka Adegoke - Africa Editor, Semafor. Grateful to Madam @aishahmad, founder of Bridgforte Dialogues, for convening such an insightful gathering, and to the Bridgforte team for having me back. Wonderful to connect with everyone who joined the conversation!

Flutterwave works well and the settlement for GHS and other local currencies is T+1.
I'm still looking for a very reliable payment provider to collect international payments 😕 There's always one issue or another with the ones I'm using You'll think having 3 different providers will actually solve your issues but at the end of the day they don't I'm losing money daily and it's hurting me bad Currently facing some issues with collecting GHS and TZS

I joined Flutterwave and Invest Africa for the Africa Forward: Investing in the Next Decade of Growth Executive Roundtable in New York. We talked about how to scale Africa’s digital economy and build the right partnerships to support its growth. It was encouraging to see leaders from business, finance and government in the room, focused on the opportunities ahead for Africa. Unlocking our continent’s potential will take real collaboration between the public and private sectors. For us in Lagos, we remain open to partnerships that create jobs and strengthen our position as a leading digital and business hub in Africa.

Soon: NectarFi x NGX. Everyone is excited about tokenisation, and rightfully so. If major markets like the NYSE are already exploring how U.S. equities can move onchain, the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX) shouldn’t be far behind. I recently spoke with TechNext about what it could take to bring NGX-listed assets onchain, the infrastructure required, and the opportunity this could unlock for market access. If anyone on the NGX side is actively thinking about or working on this, I’m open to a conversation.
We're excited to announce our partnership with @NYSE to bring 24/7 access to tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs to users around the world. Another win toward making markets more globally accessible.

Great connecting with global leaders and investors at the GABI Unstoppable Africa session to discuss the next frontier of growth. It was also a pleasure meeting with the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, during his session. Good to hear him speak on what it takes to scale up infrastructure and his vision for growth across Lagos. Thank you to the Unstoppable Africa team for organising those two brilliant sessions!

Amazing and well done Dr, can't help but just imagine how much and how far flutterwave has come, asides the other big names there, there's this realization of how a company founded in the last 10 or so years has grown exponentially to command such influence and deliver value.
At Unstoppable Africa today on the sidelines of the UNGA in New York. Was great to see Aliko Dangote speak. Starting our roundtable on healthcare upstairs on the 7th floor, please come through!

As of today, Pewbeam has been downloaded in 99 countries and used in 87. We now have paying, recurring customers in 29 countries. In two weeks we will enter another level of growth, and I’m mind-blown by the work the team is doing.

Building resilient infrastructure means investing in our own builders. Proud to join @terraindustries through @R17_Ventures to invest in the Aeon team as they scale sovereign cyber defense across the continent. With cyberattacks costing Africa over $3 billion, scaling a combined digital and physical security platform across the Global South is a necessity. Africa supporting Africa is how we secure the next frontier of growth. x.lingyaoai.com/terraindustries/status…
Replying to @terraindustries
The investment follows a successful pilot earlier this year. @TechProd_Arch, Flutterwave CEO, also joined the round through his fund, @R17_Ventures. The two companies have now formed a commercial joint venture to deploy Aeon's technology for Terra's government and corporate clients across the Global South.
