CBN Rewrites Fintech Licensing Framework for Nigeria
Nigeria's Central Bank is rewriting its licensing rules for financial technology companies, a move that reshapes the regulatory playbook for the country's entire fintech sector. The overhaul sets new conditions under which fintechs can obtain and retain operating authorisation in Africa's largest economy.

The source material here is just a headline and a summary — no actual provisions, no capital thresholds, no licence categories, nothing concrete to dig into.
