Nigeria (among a number of other nations in Africa) has the potential to become a cashless society due to the mass-adoption of mobile banking therein.
That said; it’ll be interesting to see how this country continues to challenge themselves (as well as other non-OECD nations) to not just adapt / adopt technology but to begin to move up the value-chain whereas they are successfully developing and commercializing viable, smartphone applications.
Clearly; with a young; tech-savvy populous there’s no shortage of potential in Nigeria (and/or many other locations the world-over).
