The Federal Government has launched a new initiative to establish an operating model and framework for Economic and Financial Inclusion, aiming to transform Nigeria into a 1 trillion dollar economy by 2030.

Vice President KASHIM SHETTIMA said the project is designed to combat poverty and catalyse sustainable economic growth from the ground up.

Addressing members of the team and other stakeholders at the maiden meeting, the Vice President noted that the idea is to provide access to capital and eradicate poverty through legislative interventions and critical policies.

He listed some positive results the efforts have yielded including, the recent upgrade of Nigeria’s credit outlook to positive by Fitch Ratings.
