59% of the Current Nigerian Adult Population is Financially Excluded. These are mainly petty traders, small scale enterprise owners, farmers and artisans who live in rural and urban areas. Most often, they indulge in daily contributions also known as ESUSU where a collector collects certain amount of money from customers and at the end of a month, the collector takes a fraction of the money for the services rendered. Both the esusu collectors and their contributors/customers are posed with the problems of the traditional and manual savings schemes.

Considering Africa as a viable continent to drive financial inclusion, one of the best ways to proffer solutions is to develop a standard responsive framework to continually sensitize the agent network managers enhancing financial inclusion for everyone. The major objective of the workshop is to nurture responsive smart agent network managers to leveraging technology with micro-finance best practices to drive financial inclusion to the last mile.
