The Association of Corporate & Marketing Communications Professionals in Banks in Nigeria (ACAMB), on Tuesday announced plans for its fourth National Stakeholders’ Conference, scheduled for Thursday, July 10, 2025.
The event, with the theme: “AI and the Future of Trust: Reimagining Banking and Financial Services in a Digital-First Era,” according to Odekina Omede, spokesman of the group, promises to be a defining moment for the Nigerian financial services industry.
This year’s conference, which will hold at the CIBN’s (Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria) Bankers House, Victoria Island, Lagos, he said, is convening amid a global shift toward artificial intelligence and its profound impact on trust, transparency, and customer engagement in financial services.
The conference, he added, will bring together senior bankers, fintech disruptors, regulatory authorities, and AI pioneers to examine how technology can be responsibly harnessed to drive innovation while safeguarding consumer confidence.
The insights by the keynote speaker, Niyi Yusuf, Managing Partner at Verraki Africa and Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), he believes, will set the tone for a day of critical conversations on balancing innovation with accountability in a rapidly digitizing economy.
The conference will also feature a expert panelists such as Yonodu Okeugo, General Manager of Business Banking & Partnerships at VFD Microfinance Bank; Dr. Harrison Nnaji, Chief Information Security Officer at First Bank Nigeria, and Dele Adeyinka, Chief Digital Officer at Polaris Bank.
Commenting on the conference, ACAMB’s President, Rasheed Bolarinwa, emphasised the significance of this year’s conference amid the evolving technological and regulatory demands.
For him, “as AI revolutionizes banking, the question is not just about adoption, it is about how we harness it to rebuild trust in an increasingly skeptical digital landscape. This conference is a clarion call for collaboration. We must ensure that AI serves as a bridge, not a barrier, to financial inclusion and integrity. Together, we will redefine what it means to be a trusted financial institution in 2025 and beyond.”
The event, ACAMB stressed, is targeted at C-suite executives, fintech founders, compliance and risk management professionals, marketing and customer experience leaders, policymakers, regulators, academia and technology service providers. Participants can expect a high-impact, solution-driven engagement that will help shape the future of banking in Africa’s largest economy.
