On Episode 7 of Inclusion for all radio, Chinasa Collins-Ogbuo - podcast host and Head, Inclusion for all Initiative; is joined Professor Olayinka David- West, the Associate Dean of the Lagos Business School (LBS) in Nigeria where she leads the Sustainable and Inclusive Digital Financial Services (SIDFS) initiative, a research, advocacy and capacity building initiative dedicated to enhancing financial inclusion in Nigeria.

Professor David-West sets the perfect tone for further conversations about the Naira redesign directive by the CBN. She shares from her wealth of knowledge of how the directive aids financial inclusion but even with the best intentions still poses the risk of widening the exclusion gap if certain actions are not taken.

This is one of such conversation, as we start the Naira redesign series and continue to deepen our knowledge and understanding of the plight of low-income groups.
